The only really big difference is no Houston. I think given whom the Reds have played up to this point in the first 35 games, whom we have lost to injury and the lack of production from C,RF and LF, I think we are in a pretty good position. I look forward to the rest of the season and think any thought of changes needs to wait a bit...lets enjoy
