Perhaps moreso this year than in any other, pinpointing exactly what these Cincinnati Reds are capable of accomplishing is absurdly difficult. Joey Votto is still working his way back from major surgeries (plural), and he’s the only ‘established’ player on the roster.
Jonathan India and Tyler Stephenson? Star-level talents, yet both are coming off seasons destroyed by injuries.
Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo? Uber-talented arms, albeit arms with fewer combined career IP at the big league level than Aaron Harang had in his 2007 season alone.
The bullpen? Oh boy.
There’s ample promise around these parts, but proven production simply ain’t here.
