Wed Oct 29 2014 | 12:59 | Soto sent outright to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday |
Soto was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, MLB.com reports. |
A member of the Reds' Opening Day roster, Soto went just 3-for-28 over the first two months of the season and was ultimately sent down to Louisville. The 25-year-old turned in a respectable .302/.350/.406 batting line in 75 games with the affiliate, but it wasn't enough to get the call back in September, and apparently the Reds have seen enough from the former third-round pick to rule him out of their future plans. |

Fri Feb 14 2014 | 11:17 | Neftali Soto coming to camp as catcher |
Neftali Soto will be used as a catcher in spring training with the Reds. |
Soto caught 10 games in A-ball back in 2010, but that's the extent of his pro catching experience. He's since bounced around between third and first base but has never really found a home defensively. It might be a long shot that the soon-to-be 25-year-old will work out behind the plate, but his bat would be intriguing if the conversion is successful. Soto hit .271/.313/.414 with 15 homers last season and slugged 31 bombs back in 2011. |

Wed Feb 27 2013 | 23:07 | Neftali Soto could move back to 3B |
The Reds are considering moving Neftali Soto back to third base. |
Soto began his professional career as a third baseman and shortstop but was eventually moved to first base when it looked like he couldn't hack it defensively. However, with Joey Votto entrenched at first, they might give Soto another look at the hot corner. "They're talking about it, because he came up a third baseman, then really improved as a first baseman," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "Those two positions are mirror images, plus he has a good throwing arm. So, he could play third base." |

Sat Feb 23 2013 | 19:00 | Neftali Soto gets four hits in spring debut |
Neftali Soto went 4-for-4 in the Reds Cactus League opener, a 13-10 loss to the Indians. |
Soto also drove in two runs for the losing squad. The 23-year-old has played primarily first base for the Reds minor league affiliates since being drafted in the third round of the 2007 MLB Draft. With Todd Frazier taking over full-time at third base and Joey Votto's injury history, it's not impossible that we'll see Soto in Cincinnati at some point in 2013. It just won't likely be in April. |

Sun Mar 18 2012 | 14:06 | Reds option out eight |
Reds optioned 1Bs Neftali Soto and Donald Lutz, SSs Kristopher Negron and Didi Gregorius, 2B Henry Rodriguez and RHPs Josh Judy, Pedro Villarreal and Kyle Lotzkar to Triple-A Louisville. |
Soto and Gregorius are the highest profile names on this list, but neither had a real chance to make the club. Gregorius hasn't played above Double-A, and Soto, who belted 31 homers in just 379 at-bats between Double- and Triple-A last season, is stuck behind Joey Votto. |

Fri Nov 18 2011 | 15:44 | Neftali Soto added to roster |
Reds purchased the contract of INF Neftali Soto from Triple-A Louisville. |
Soto has great raw power, which he showcased with a .278/.333/.576 batting line with 31 homers over 379 at-bats between Double- and Triple-A this season. After several position switches, he's primarily a first baseman now, which is bad news given the organization he's in. |
