February 11, 20242 yr comment_1736615 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.. Report

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. Report
