    Pitching, as usual.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    Health
    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    And Cueto's back.

    I'm optimistic, but honestly, I'm very nervous about both of these.

    This.

    The 2013 Reds are loaded with enough pitching to sustain a number of starting/bullpen setbacks, experiments and tweaks. But I'm afraid the offense couldn't handle another 2 months without Joe Votto. A full season of prime Votto makes them the best team in baseball.

    You stole my answer!

    Other choice: Brian Price's awesomeness (IMO, he's the glue for our pitching staff and it's success this year)
    "I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search

    An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”

    The bullpen. How big of an effect will Chapman moving to the rotation have? I think most people are assuming the bullpen will dominate as it did last year. Bullpen's are fickle from year to year, and as currently constructed, this pen worries me.

    Injuries.

    (If this team stays healthy, I have no doubt they'll be a legit WS contender.)
