Who do you think has been the biggest surprise has been for the Reds in 06?

Bronson Arroyo- RHP

Brandon Phillips- 2B

David Ross- C

Ryan Freel- UTIL

Anyone else-

I have to go with Brandon Phillips because he has had a great first half both offensively and defensively. The Cleveland Indians didn't really give him a chance in their organization and it has been a blessing for the Reds.

My runner up would go to David Ross, who is becoming one of the best offensive catchers in the National League. His bat is a huge upgrade over Jason LaRue and he fairly decent behind the plate. Bronson Arroyo loves to pitch to Ross and David has caught Bronson every game except Sunday's loss to Atlanta. LaRue has more athleticism and has a stronger arm, but Ross has been a huge part of the Reds offense.

Brandon Phillips - his athletic ability is superb and he makes very few defensive errors for someone so young out there. He is in a batting slump right now but that will change soon I think. Great player that we got for a song.
