Josh Bresser

My name is Josh, and I have been a Reds fan for longer than I can remember. While I'm definitely not your prototypical "stats guy", I do use them quite a bit. However, I do not believe that stats are the only way to measure performance. I may be fairly young, but I have been rooting for the Reds for many years. About 5-6 years ago (when I was 13 or 14) I started to really get into the Reds. This is when I started going to 20-30 games a year (spending most of my meager allowance over the summer on Reds games) and keeping up to date with stats every day. Please don't be shy in leaving me a comment on my work, I appreciate feedback. I hope you all enjoy my articles, and go Reds!
