Senzel? Blandino? Other?
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
In order, Galvis, Blandino, Farmer, VanMeter, and Senzel on the MLB roster.
Colon, ARod, and Garcia on the "minor league" roster.

Management and ownership has been out there pushing Farmer at SS earlier this year so I would guess it would be him especially when we get down to 26.
My guess is the pecking order will be Galvis, Blandino, Garcia. Farmer or Vanmeter might get an inning here or there, but if they really need someone to take over for a decent chunk of games I think they might go straight to Garcia.

Usually, when you’re trying to win a pennant, competing with teams like the Cards, Cubs, and Brewers, you don’t want guys directly from A ball.
Even at High A ball he OPS’d .779. It’s a big step up, but “great”?
And relying on spring training? Which ended on March 12?
I wish Garcia well, but c’mon.

So now this is about 2021. After all the FA signings and other veteran acquisitions last winter.

Reds seem to like Farmer’s middle infield play. He’d likely get the shot if a new shortstop is needed. We all see him as a catcher, but Reds have touted his infield experience and ability.
But there’s a need for a higher level backup infielder, and Reds may well pursue that, if there is a fluid trade market in these circumstances.
