Reds Use Dropped Players to Build New Stars
The Reds have repeatedly released players who later shined with other teams. Jean Dubuc and Elmer Brown are cited as examples as Dubuc became Detroit’s star pitcher after Notre Dame and a Cincinnati trial. Brown, initially ignored after a shaky start, rose with Akron and then stuck with the Browns. The list also recalls Sam Crawford and other stars who achieved greatness after leaving Cincinnati.
