Blake Trahan

Trahan survived the winter with his spot on the Cincinnati's 40-man roster, but he's only holding on by a thread. Now 25 years old, Trahan has done next to nothing at the upper levels of the minors, posting OPS marks of .585 and .629 the last two years at Double-A and Triple-A, respectively. By wRC+, he was 18% worse than league average at the plate last year with Louisville, striking out 20.4% of the time while chipping in a total of 20 extra-base hits (two homers) in 510 plate appearances. The 2015 third-round pick does have some speed as evidenced by his 25 steals in 2016, but he's never had good success rates and his stolen-base total fell to a mere six last season. At best, Trahan is a utility infielder. It seems more likely that Trahan gets designated for assignment in-season than it does Trahan gets any significant run with the Reds, even if disaster strikes in the Queen City.
