If Scott Rolen can play a 'healthy' 120 games, the Reds are in like Flynn.

rolen needs to quit as he is not half the hitter francisco will be
This team needs a legit Lead Off Hitter... It allows Phillips to Bat 2nd or even 6th and gets some runners on base in front of Votto/Bruce/Rolen.
This team also needs a Right Handed Hitting LF'er who can Hit 25-30 Homers.
That's what will make this team a WS contender.
I think the Reds have "In House" Closer options.
Masset getting the first opprotunity.
Stubbs is fast, but not all fast players can successfully bunt for a hit. Ralph Garr comes to mind. Park him 6th or 7th and let him do his thing. Jay needs to be more consistent. 35 homeruns is doable, but a .280 average is probably the best he can hope for anytime soon.
A closer, combined with success from the unproven players and those in need of a breakout (Chapman, Heisey, Cozart, Mesoraco, Bailey, Bruce).
