I’m not confident in either. I can’t see Iglesias having more than the first 40 games to earn that closers role. Votto will get the first half at a minimum before his time gets cut back and that’s regardless of how bad he might hit. He is also probably locked into that 2 spot until at least then.
Spring numbers have never mattered for Votto.
2017 Votto Spring Training Line: .200/.355/.240 (.595)
2017 Votto Regular Season Line: .320/.454/.578 (1.032)
Obviously not saying that Votto will be a monster in 2020, but just pointing out that judging him on spring training numbers is as accurate of a process as it was to judge Peyton Manning on his preseason W-L record. Lol
