You can't always account for guys returning when you think they will, and you can't ensure they'll come back exactly like they were before, at least not immediately.

Now, the Reds could end up having to roll with Lively or maybe call up Connor Phillips or some other dude.
And it could ultimately risk making the postseason this year.

That's the risk the Reds organization chose to take.

I feel the same all the time, lol.

I kinda understand why they chose to not get crazy with trades this season. About all young players that are inconsistent. BUTT.....

I'm keeping fingers crossed this offseason they go after a real ace. I mean who knows what Greene is going to end up being? Who knows what Lodolo will be when he gets back. Williamson with out taking a giant leap is pretty much just a #5. I don't want to rely on Phillips or some other rookies to take us through the season.

And just like this season you just never know what's going to go down injury wise? And here I go again  but MLB is won and lost with pitching. This window of all this young, fast, hot, talent is going to be short in the big picture.

Get a proven 15-20 game winner with a 3.25 ERA at a minimum to go along with Ashcraft, Abbott, Greene, and __________.
