I love the youth over the tired old retreads and regardless of their offense right now (Votto?  You going to join the party?) their young arms are impressive as hell and they got a lot of them for aging vets.  

Don't get me wrong SH and Beaker, I am much more excited about this Reds team than last years . I just want to curb my expectations a bit with such a young team. But the difference I notice between them and the Bengals is one's committed to making the roster the best it can be, and the other is half in, half out. Why else would they gut their roster, suffer awful attendance/revenue numbers, and go thru this grueling process in general? The Bengals make me feel like they're in it to win, but maybe not in it to win it all.
