I project they'll win somewhere between 0 and 162 games..hopefully closer to 162 than 0. I do think we'll see marked improvement. Even in down years I always feel positive around this time of year with regards to baseball, Reds in particular. Sometimes all they need is enough players to have lucky seasons.
They brought in Cristian Perez as assistant pullpen coach and advanced scouting coach (whatever that means)
He was kind of tough to pin down in a search, but he spent 3 years playing at Duke, some time at USC then began climbing through the business end somewhere in 2017 from AZ to MLB to the Reds. There's not a lot about him to read up on, but there's a musician by the same name as well as a minor league player by the same name. I guess the Reds like his potential not as a player, but in coaching possibly or as a scout somewhere down the road. Only thing I could find on him.. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristian-x-perez
Who knows? Perhaps Ian Krol (lefty) will turn in a great season from the bullpen. He's invited to the big club in the spring with a minor league contract. 2.72 era with both Angels and Mets minor league clubs last year and has been up and down in the bigs with various clubs. You never know with guys like this. They sometimes hit paydirt with young guys who've bounced around a bit.
