The Reds should ask for a few extra Split Squad games early in Spring Training

I wouldn't try to overload the pitching staff, I would invite a few more minor league pitchers before they start whittling down the rosters.

I want the hitters to see more at bats more than anything else. They always say that the pitchers are ahead of the hitters in the early part of the season, I feel that this approach may help combat some of that.

Thoughts?

Agree, we have several hitters struggling. Aquino can use all the help he can get ! He has like 1 hit in 15 at bats or something with 7 strike outs. And there are several others. Wouldn't hurt Aikiyama to get some more looks either.

I really don't wanna start off in April 0-8 with a team batting avg. of a buck twenty three, again.
