All right, we all know 2012 did not go anywhere near as planned for Devin Mesoraco. Now he gets to try it again in 2013. Sounds like he's been working his hump off to make sure this is a better season:

You can assess abilities and stats all you like, but a pathological drive to succeed is a pretty powerful asset for a young ballplayer. All the projections folks out there seem to think Mes will break through this season: http://www.redszone.com/forums/showp...58&postcount=1

So are you buying it? Because if this kid establishes himself as a quality player, the Reds are going to be a very tough team to beat.
