Looking forward I can see the Reds finally being competitive next season if they can/will retain the starting pitching they have and the noob's develop and continue to grow.
A starting staff of:
Castillo
Bauer
Wood
Gray
Disco
They'd be in the top 1/4 of the league wouldn't they ?
Then outfield of Aquino R Senzel C and platoon Winker/Ervin in L
How about an infield of Suarez 3B Iggy SS Van Meter 2B and _________ 1B or how about Peraza at 2B and Van Meter at 1B ? They have to do something with Joey Votto IMHO, you just can't have a 1Bman with 40 RBI's batting .255
And they need a closer, again IMHO R. Iglesias just isn't showing closer stuff consistently enough. But if they can keep Garrett, Lorenzen, Sims and add a closer I think this team can shake the playoff cage.
