That's a great point.

Starting depth is as good as it's ever been, IMO, in Cincinnati.

For next season, you've got each of the following as possible starting pitchers:
-- Cueto
-- Latos
-- Bailey
-- Leake
-- Arroyo
-- Chapman
-- Hoover
-- Cingrani
-- Corcino
-- Redmond
-- Villareal
-- Lotzkar
-- Rogers
-- Stephenson
-- Guillon

That's 15, each of which has enough positives to have at least an outside shot at starting at the major league level before the end of 2017.
