Re: The Success of this Season hinges on ______
Ludwick, Frasier, Broxton.
The team could probably absorb an off year from Frasier, but either he or Ludwick needs to be the cleanup hitter. Broxton needs to nail down the closing spot to keep the bullpen solvent. I guess I'm not worried about Joey's knee. I think the offseason will be plenty of time for it to heal. Likewise, I think (hope) Cueto's back is not a chronic thing.

So long as the team stays healthy and players play to the back of their baseball card, this is a playoff team. I feel safe to say it is the most well constructed team the Reds have fielded in my life. |

Re: The Success of this Season hinges on ______
I really think you all are worrying too much on CF defense. It doesn't matter as much in that park than lets say Petco. If Choo is even just slightly below average at defense in center, there's very little to worry about. The whole package will outweigh any defensive liabilities (IE Lance Berkman in 2011). If you're fear of CF defense is the #1 reason to the success of this season, then you guys will win the WS.
For me, I think it's starting pitching depth and health of the rotation. There isn't a whole lot of depth there and I expect the Reds to regress to the means as far as injuries go to their arms.
