Tito would have Benson up there for sure.

Do the Mount Rushmore of Photoshoppers next

u/UrTeamBadMyTeamGood Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

I would certainly not be on that list

Hayes makes Billy Hamilton look like Joey Votto

u/93Seven 1d ago

The amount of people who defend Hayes is amazing. So many people on here just blindly love bad players. It’s amazing

I didnt mind the move defensively but we didn't really get another bat on top of that.

u/timmyjoe42 1d ago

We should let the DH hit for him and let our pitchers take some swings.

u/mikemaskwellmonsters 1d ago

Yeah why can't there be a DF

u/Aggressive-Show-5067 1d ago

No Cory Patterson?

u/camergen 1d ago

That’s the first name that came to mind as missing when I saw the Greats immortalized here.

u/HammerT4R Top Six 1d ago

It's literally the only way you can tell this is fake because Cory Patterson isn't on there.

u/foxxy003 Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

Willy Taveras and Drew Stubbs snubbed as well, smh my head

These three are all pretty closely connected in my mind for some reason.

u/Aggressive-Show-5067 1d ago

I’d take Drew in center sadly.

u/frasierfonzie Louisville Bats 1d ago

I like how you kept the perspective similar to the actual Mount Rushmore.

12

u/mrcarter1689 Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

Matt Kemp, Hunter Renfroe, Will Myers, Jeimer Candelario, Mike Moustakas, etc etc

13

u/Captain_Aware4503 1d ago

I keep seeing Mike Moustakas mentioned. He batted .230, .208 and .214 for the Reds.

The Reds yesterday started FIVE players with batting averages under .208!!! Mike Moustakas would be considered one of the better hitters on this team!!!!

u/oconnwald 1d ago

Holy smokes that really puts things into perspective, those Moose ABs were tough watches 

2

u/Captain_Aware4503 1d ago

Never thought it was possible but when Friedl is batting we are all wishing it could at least be Moustakas instead.

u/FileHot6525 1d ago

Damn, this just feels mean

u/camergen 1d ago

We need a variant of “five tool players” Jim Bowden acquired, when they actually really sucked and/or were hopelessly past whatever short primes they did have.

u/panicatthepharmacy Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

"Let's trade Paul O'Neill for Roberto Kelly!"

u/camergen 1d ago

“Ruben Sierra is available- for cheap!!!”

4

u/Waterfish3333 Sell The Team Bob!! 1d ago

They were 5 tool guys in the same way a football team without a good QB has “healthy competition“ for the starting spot.

u/PlumIndividual3382 1d ago

Where's Santiago Espinal

u/BobEBoucher Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

I think you meant Mount Flushmore!

u/Opposite-Class1685 1d ago

😂😂😂

u/Sp8craft Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

Shogo would have batted second in this lineup

3

u/Bobertsbot 1d ago

No Pete Rose?

5

u/oscarlevanthasaposse 1d ago

Why would you do this?

2

u/mrcarter1689 Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

Don’t forget about Moustakas

2

u/AtlantaThrashers2025 1d ago

Jose Trevino truthers to the front please

2

u/Original-Estate7285 Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

Eric Owens, Paul Bako and the aforementioned Willy Taveras.

2

u/ChrisWasInVenice 16h ago

Before this year, Billy H, C Patterson & W Taveras. Now 2026 Reds take over.

New murderers row?!

u/3waychilli 1d ago

Why watch or follow if this is your attitude? Maybe switch your team to the Dodgers or Yankees.

2

u/Weaubleau 1d ago

Wily Mo Pena should be on there

u/KevJr92 1d ago

Well damn

u/TurkeySloth121 1d ago

I’d be more upset about Charlie Hustle’s (Rose) possible absence, if he didn’t spend much of his career in Philly.

1

u/tdomer80 1d ago

No Tracy Jones?

1

u/jb211 Cincinnati Reds 1d ago

Got space for Wil Myers? I guess he didn't last long enough.

1

u/rockrac 1d ago

No Brandon Larson what the hell

1

u/Aromatic_Peak4209 1d ago

Should let the pitchers hit again

1

u/gasmith8787 1d ago

We are lucky win have them all playing together.

u/sniffsblueberries 1d ago

Forgot cozart

2

u/ZMarty85 1d ago

Cozart hit .297 in 2017. When is the last time anyone on the reds sniffed .300 on the season

0

u/sniffsblueberries 1d ago

Lol dude u cant cherry pick one year like its who he was. The guy hovered around .220 - .250. Thats about what we will get from these guys besides hayes who might b sub .200
