Senzel to LF

Another question I wonder is if LF is the hardest, why did they pretty much put corpses there for three years in a row? I remembered they tried Devin Mesoraco in Left! So did they ignore the hardest OF position? 

And I don't "hate" Gennett... I am not sure where you got that at. I was saying they should of learned their lesson from the Chapman trade, waiting to long to start the rebuild, etc. You have to be able to strike while the iron is hot and deal from a position of strength. They have failed to do that.

Agree 1000% on that

I haven't been following the Reds to closely this last month but from what I gathered before they're basically planning on keeping the infield intact and building a team from it. All around it's a solid core. Granted the defense isn't stellar, especially Gennett but you could live with it if you had some pitching.

The problem is the outfield and the pitching - starting pitching being number 1 with a hundred bullets !

Your power has to come from the corners, when you get away from that model it falls apart quickly. You can get by with a so-so shortstop and center fielder on good teams but when you start having RF and 3rd being non power hitters (just as an example) it starts falling apart.

The Reds have needed more power from right and left field for awhile now.
