The Reds went from a terrible starting 5 staff to possibly a league average staff, that’s big. It pushes everyone back and that also provides depth. Some of the past starters can now solely focus on the bullpen too. You had little offense from last years outfield. You have 2 or 3 new guys there and 2 guys that were hurt last year hopefully will be healthy. If they pull off the trade at catcher, they might have the best offense in the national league. You could see 20+ homeruns at nearly every position, the OBP should be better too. The teams ERA could be a run less per game. If the catcher trade is pulled off, I’d be disappointed with less than 88 wins. It’s a pretty extensive overhaul of players, throw in the coaching changes and this is an entirely different team all together. Every aspect, except the solid infield is different.
