Edward Kenneth Taubensee (born October 31,1968) is an American former Major League Baseball catcher. Taubensee played for three different ballclubs during his career:the Cleveland Indians (1991,2001),Houston Astros (1992-1994),and Cincinnati Reds (1994-2000).
He was originally drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 6th round of the June draft in 1986. The Oakland Athletics selected him in the Rule 5 Draft on December 3,1990.

He is well known for being traded along with Willie Blair from the Indians to the Astros in exchange for outfielder Kenny Lofton and infielder Dave Rohde on December 10,1991, [1] a trade that many consider to be one of the most lopsided moves made in the 1990s,as Lofton went on to have an excellent career,while Taubensee played less than three full seasons with the Astros before he was traded to the Reds On April 19,1994,for Ross Powell and Marty Lister.
Taubensee had a solid season in 1995 with the Reds,and he had the last postseason hit (an NLCS 8th inning single vs. the Braves) the Reds would have until 2010. Taubensee's best season came in 1999 as a member of Cincinnati Reds,when he surprisingly became one of club's best hitters for a team which was a surprise contender and nearly made the playoffs (ultimately losing an extra regular season game to go to the wildcard game to the New York Mets). [2] He would be traded back to the Indians on November 16,2000,for Jim Brower and Robert Pugmire and would finish his career there playing his last game on October 8,2001.
