"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010

Senzel"s not even close to large for a 2B. He's the same size as Jonathan Schoop and a good bit shooter than D.J. Lemahieu, Wilmer Flores and Ben Zobrist. Guys like Max Muncy and Keston Hiura carry more bulk.
As for health, CF is a brutal position. It's the position with the most sprinting. Your body absorbs massive impact when you sprint and it's ridiculously easy to tear a cold or tight muscle. Even if Senzel's staying in the OF, RF/LF would significantly reduce the wear and tear. Also, Senzel's been a lifelong IF. He knows how to execute the fundamentals there.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.

Jackie Bradley Jr. I think would be good, and wanted him in the last off season. We have need for power hitting in the lineup so getting a cf with that capability would be nice but probably pricey

I'm not a fan of the idea, but I'm guessing Odubel Herrera could be had.
Can Adam Eaton adequately play center field?
The Braves have both Ronald Acuna and Ender Inciarte at the MLB level. Meanwhile they have both Cristian Pache and Drew Waters in AAA. Here's a trade idea:
Reds receive:
OF Drew Waters
OF Ender Inciarte
Braves receive
RHP Raisel Iglesias
IF Jonathan India
RHP Tony Santillan
OF Mike Siani
That's just a rough framework, but it might be close.

I see Inciarte and Iggy kinda canceling each other out there...if anything I value Inciarte more.
That leaves Sant/India/Siani for Waters. I just don’t think that gets it done for the Reds.
I do like the targets but if the Braves give up a top prospect they are gonna seek maximum return from the other 29 teams. Someone would ante up more.
Edit - I’d almost just target Ender alone on a buy-low.
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!
We don't have a choice. .I am assuming this shoulder injury is going to hurt his arm strength for throwing (which honestly, was not that great to begin with, in my opinion).
I think 2b is probably the only position Nick can play, at least next year (that is open, 1b and 3b are not open)
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

I have an outside the box thought....why not move Aquino to center, Senzel to 2nd, and then sign Castellanos or Puig.
Not saying its perfect, but there are a couple real options out there in right. If Winker can play center anyone can.

I think Puig is going to be fairly cheap. He hit less than one homer per month from July 15 till end of season.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Senzel in CF is/was an interesting experiment that clearly isn't working.
Let's not waste another year experimenting, Reds have a big hole at 2B again and Senzel will be in his rightful place back in the IF.
That leaves CF, SS and bullpen as the areas in dire needs of upgrades. Feels better just typing that.
