I mean on the one hand and it's a little hand they have some good pieces in place to start a decent core. Suarez, Senzel, Castillo, Garrett, even J. Iglesias at SS. After that the bulk of the rest of the guys are just mid level bench type players. Votto is on the back side of his career and just not going to produce at a high level anymore. Scooter or Dietrich would be ok I guess at 2nd but neither is a great defender. Perhaps Cassali is going to develop at C but I'm not sure Barnhart is gonna cut it ?

Then you get to the outfield and it kinda falls apart. We've got Senzel at CF but the corners ? Puig just isn't the future in right I'm afraid and despite my high hopes for Winker I'm afraid he's just a bench player as well, same for Schebler. They need to get more consistent production from the LF, RF spots that's were you need your power hitters. 

Perhaps Sims and Hunter Greene or both can come up and produce ? Perhaps Wood can ?

This team is kinda close but they still need a bunch more.

The guys that you mentioned are solid pieces, there just aren’t enough of them. I do like Iglesias at SS on a 2-3 year deal. Votto isn’t going anywhere and I kinda think he will play a little bit better than he has been to fish out his contract. Scooter is much more established than Dietrich but they will probably go with Peraza and Dietrich next year. Puig has looked good for the last 5 games, he will probably end the year hitting .250 25 80 which isn’t terrible. If he stays hot for a couple of weeks and the team still sucks, they should trade him. I like Casali and nobody will take Barnhart. They need to hope that he is having an off year and relegate him to less playing time. I do think that Winker will hit, he always has, I’m iffy on him because he doesn’t field or run well. I wouldn’t wast a spot on the 40 for Schebler. Greene won’t pitch this year and let’s hope that the surgery worked. He’s at least 2 and maybe 3 or 4 years from the bigs if they use him as a starter. He’s never racked up innings anywhere yet. I hate drafting high school pitchers. Wood will probably be traded if he can pitch a couple of games. Sims will probably be back up before years end. The Reds will have money to spend for next years team, let’s hope that luck is on their side.
