I don't think 3 guys are competing for the 2b spot.

The Reds obviously don't like Freel as a 2b. I don't know why, but it HAS to be more than the fact that he is valuable as a super-utility guy, because the batting order is so much better with Freel in the line up. Yet Freel has gotten very little playing time at second. And if you assume Womack will not be with the Reds opening day (and I have assumed that since Krivsky took over), that leaves Aurilia as the starting second baseman and Menechino still competing for a roster spot.
