Cincinnati Reds: Derek Dietrich should be playing every day

Through the first 8 games of the 2019 season, there is one player leading the Cincinnati Reds in batting average, home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage, and OPS. That player is Derek Dietrich and Reds manager David Bell needs to find a way to get his bat in the lineup every day. Fortunately for him, Dietrich provides ample opportunities with his versatility.

Entering his seventh major league season, Dietrich has appeared in more than 60 games at first, second and third base as well as left field. Obviously his glove can play at many different positions.
