    Despite the 0 for 3 Senzel has looked good. Happy he's back. Hopefully he can get that timing down and hit the ground running.

    I like having the depth.
    I'd rather keep the extra talented OFers than trade one for a less talented player just to balance things out
    If you’re trying for a pennant, you need strong backups all over the field. You need a very strong bullpen.

    IMO Reds have focused very heavily on outfielders and not enough elsewhere. I’d like to see them balance it out.

    Straw man to say trade for less talented player. How about equally talented player at different position.

    For last season to be such a crappy season.....there was some exciting stuff going on all year....we had the dominance of Castillo the first half of the season.....then Sonny was near lock down the back half of the season. We had Senzel mania for a few weeks when he first arrived....even a little excitement around the same time when his buddy VanMeter was raking. The Aquino month was simply must watch baseball. The Bauer trade. Seemed like it was something always keeping us engaged even though we never closed the gap in the standings.

    he is just one of those dudes that always looks like a good baseball player for some reason.....if you came out of a coma all season and he was at the plate, you likely would assume he is a good hitter if that makes sense.

    I like Jim Day up in the booth. To answer his question.... I want Mahle in AAA starting, not in the pen.

    I think the bullpen could be really good.....average....or bad. I know that sounds silly, but I just think there is a lot of unproven high potential beyond the 3 or 4 main guys (Strop, Lorenzen, Garrett and Iglesias).

    Iglesias was a HR machine last year. Garrett a walk machine. Strop rebounding from injury. Three spots are essentially open. I”m not so into unproven potential this year. Rebuild is over.

    Bullpen might be ok, guys may rebound, but there is room to use an outfielder to get another very good reliever.

    We have plenty of good guys in pen, we keep him "rotation ready" to step in at moment's notice, he gets more work which he needs, we preserve his service time.

    for sure.....what is the expected rotation the first week in Louisville? Mahle, Santillan, Guttierrez?, Antone?, Ramono?

    Mostly bounce back guys coming off injury, some still trying to make majors.

    It’s fine, but the idea this year is wins, not development, not trying guys out. Still room to add.

    I would be ok with it also....but just hoping Stephenson has another good year.....guys like Reed and Sims have shown they have the ability to be very good in that role if they can be consistent.

    No idea if this is permanent but the Reds’ feed on my YouTube TV has disappeared for me.

    I think DeLeon also, so probably Santillan in AA. I personally would have Romano in bullpen.
