Feel bad for Scooter. Finally comes into his own and last year, the shoulder and now this. Not saying he's irreplaceable but the loss will be felt.

Iglesias-Peraza is a huge downgrade offensively from Peraza-Gennett.
It basically offsets the Puig addition, and now the entire improvemrnt on offense from 2018 will have to be Senzel over Hamilton in CF. (And Votto being back to Votto )
Not sure if that is enough to push the 2018 offense (which was league average) into a playoff offense.

It will upgrade defensive infield but proves to be costly.

Injuries seem to hurt the Reds lately. I have a feeling the Reds will not re-sign Scooter. Too bad.

I still have a hunch this is how Senzel breaks into the big leagues eventually. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a young up and comer made it to the bigs via an injury. It's a book yet to be written though.

This is like a kick in the nuts. This is the first year in forever that i was excited about the reds and we lose one of our biggest stars before the season even starts.
