Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price has made no secret of the fact that he likes National League MVP runner-up Joey Votto batting third. The Reds tried batting him second, but that left the middle of the line-up open to streaky hitting. Votto is locked into the third spot.
The only other player that is essentially set in the line-up is third baseman Eugenio Suarez. With Zack Cozart leaving for the Los Angeles Angels Suarez will slide into the two hole. That will be his spot, unless there is a roster move or Suarez completely falls apart in spring training.
