    Senzel's Simple Goal: Stay On The Field

    “My only goal is to play 140-150 games,” Senzel said before Friday’s game vs. the Guardians during which he hit a two-run double in the fourth inning. “I’m not going to really set anything beyond that because it’s really important to me. I know it sounds like something that’s pretty easily attainable. Obviously, to me, it holds a little more special place if I can attain that. If I do that, good things will happen on the field.”

    Manager David Bell has renewed confidence in Senzel after meeting with him as camp opened. Bell believes he can boost a team in transition after multiple trades this week.

    "[My confidence in him is] high because of the time I've spent with him,” Bell said. “His mindset, he's learned a lot -- which we all continue to do -- but sometimes when things don't go your way, especially with injuries and things are out of your control, it forces you to grow and learn. He's demonstrated that. Just in our conversations, he's matured in every way. He's ready to go. He really believes that this is the year that he's going to stay healthy and he's excited to play a big role on this team.”

    I agree with Senzel,
    If he can play 140-150 games I truly believe he will produce some valuable numbers.

    Besides DH, I wonder which position would give him a less chance of getting hurt.

    I still think Senzel is key to the length of this team's rebuild. If he can get it together, the Reds control him through 2025 and it could settle the hardest spot to fill these days, CF.
    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!

    Offensively, Senzel, India, Barrero, and Stephenson are the bridge guys this team has to rely on and build around. All four are capable up the middle gloves who can post well above average offensive numbers. That has some monster value.

    This is one of the reasons why punting on the 2022 season makes so little sense.

    Any position not CF.

    Manager.

    Although I could see him dislocating a knee while making a pitching change.

    I've seen enough of Senzel on the field that I no longer mind when he's injured.
    I'm not a system player. I am a system.

    My fever dream of Senzel getting moved back to the dirt was squashed with the additions of Solano and Moran

    With the outfield the Reds currently employ, Senzel has no business leaving CF.

    Perhaps, had they signed Conforto, kept Winker, and traded for Fraley, you could argue for the move.

    Even with Senzel, that OF looks dreadful. Without him, it's worse than several expansion outfits.

    That's why I'm saying the fever dream was squashed. They constructed one of the strangest rosters in my memory

    Re: Senzel's Simple Goal: Stay On The Field

    the "he has matured a lot" quote is telling.

    translation: he was very immature.

    hopefully he has matured and will be a force on this club

    Moustakas and Solano play third.

    Both are (far) better than the alternatives in CF should Senzel play 3B.

    The question isn't "will Senzel be able to leave CF,"

    The question is, "will Senzel be able to leave CF under his own power".

    Senzel's rc has more potential than Aquino's
