Rookie Parade: 2010-2013

Hows abouts a new running theme where we check out some Reds rookie cards, whatchasay? Here are the rookie card rules. 1) The player must have played his first major league game with the Reds. 2) The card must have been issued after the player debuted in the majors, whether it be issued late in the debut year or any time the year after. None of that Bowman first year stuff. None of that multiple rookie year nonsense. I'm gonna list every player who got his first major league appearance with the Reds and pray that I have his RC.

I'll go in groups of a few years every few days. So it should take me about a decade to finish. I'm ignoring 2014 rookies since who knows what kookiness will be released this year. Rookie year stats are given. Let's roll.
