1. Who is gonna be the Mgr. ?

Doesn't really matter besides the process they do. If they cast a wide net and try their best not to hire internally, I don't really care.

2. Can the Reds improve their starting pitching ?

Yes, but I am one of the few that think they should really try to avoid it honestly (by avoid I mean no Homer bailey contracts, please). Sign or trade for some prospects, but I am passing on the high $ pitching.

This team is still 2-3 years away from competing. 

3.Will B. Hamilton be moved ?

Will or should?

Will he? No. Because they've already made little leaks around keeping him (moving Senzel to LF).

Should they? Hell yes. Hell to-the-YES.

4. When will Nick Senzel be ready ?

I think they'll delay his arrival IMO, but will not be surprised at all if they keep him.

5. Will Scooter Gennett get a multi year contract ?

Another will or should.

Will they? Yes, because they love that he's a local kid with a cool story.

Should they? No. No they shouldn't. They need to move him and get more prospects/picks.

My 6th. Will the Reds give Bailey his walking papers ?

Tough one. I think they do only because I don't think they like eating THAT much money. Ton of money to pay him to sit at home, especially seeing as again I really don't think this team is that close to winning in this division. They're a few years away at least.
