Stephenson having lousy Spring

[kevin]

The one NEW guy I was hoping BIG things from is 1st Round Pick Catcher Stephenson. I was hoping he would come out jacking the ball. That isn't happening....and Barnhart hitting even worse....So I really hope Stephenson GETS IT GOING, because Reds really need this kid to be a shot in the arm as an up and coming All-Star type Catcher of Defense and Great Hitting for a Catcher. ...I'm still rooting for him, but no way I draft him in a Fantasy League just yet. Maybe a Free Agent Pick Up if he Gets RED HOT.

A few days before start of Season, Stephenson has at least got it up to .260 something BA. He is starting to hit. Barnhart still struggling at the plate. The future at catcher is Stephenson as the future at QB for Bengals is Burrow. Hoping for a good year from Stephenson, because I have the feeling Reds are going to need a lot of help from some young players.
