I think his name is tossed around because Cleveland was asking about him in the Lindor talks far more than the Reds were offering him up to anybody. They've been hyping his arrival for years and to give him one injury shortened season then ship him out doesn't make sense.
Until the opening of the season, Winker, Ervin and VanMeter are going to be tossed around in trade talks and rumors a lot and my guess is still upgrading the bullpen.
I am more comfortable with Galvis at SS and Barnhart/Casali at C than I am with most of the bullpen.
Anyway, great signing with Castellanos. 90 plus wins . . . if Bell can stay out of the way.
Galvis will play adequate defense and hit 20 HRs, he just won’t get on base much. He sounds like the 7th place hitter. The catching combo won’t be great but won’t be pathetic. If one gets hurt or is pathetic, Stephenson is nearly ready for his shot. This 2 spots aren’t horrendous, just not strong points. Both spots should put up positive WAR numbers. The Defense on this team could be really bad. There’s 4 or 5 positions that will probably have below average fielders. The hitters better mash!
