And no, that's not sarcasm.

Lol, I dunno if I'd go THAT far, but right now they have 5 young guys competing for 4 infield spots. 6 if you include India.
If CES can't be relied on for 1B, Steer can cover 1B while EDLC/Marte covers 3B.

There's also the DH spot.
As it stands, Reds should have:
OF - Friedl, Fraley, Benson
IF - Steer, McLain, EDLC, Marte, CES, *India
C - Stephenson

Rece Hinds and Blake Dunn are expected to get called up next year to add depth to the OF.

If CES can't hit well enough, he may get bumped out for India or some of the other young outfielders for the DH.
