claptonrocks Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I don't think there's another team in the league that has as many player options as this seasons Reds What a luxury for Bell to have . Here's a different lineup. 1B.. .CES 2......India SS ..McLain 3B ..Marte RF ...Benson CF... .Elly LF....Steer DH ...Freidl I'm going to flip the above mentioned around. 1B.. .Steer 2B. ..McLain SS. ...Marte 3B. Elly LF.....India CF....Freidl RF.....Fraley DH.. Benson That's not even considering Jaimer Candalario.. Krall also has 18 pretty good pitchers vying for a spot.. This depth if nothing else is made for a long season with injuries occuring. This could be a scary team.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claptonrocks Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 As of today David Bell has deemed Nick Lodolo and Matt McLain as injured and hopefully back before spring training is over. McLain reinjured his oblique and Lodolo still with the leg problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krall signed 3B Jeimer Candilaria so I'd expect he:ll start there . McLain and Elly play second and SS. Spencer Steer is slotted for LF but he's another option at third if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is better this year at the start of the year than it was at the start of the year last year. It should be better positioned for a post season birth this year than it was last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree last year was last this year and this year they are less last year for next year. Last year they are this year starting next year's last year better.
