Reds fans were ecstatic when Jonathan India was selected to be the team’s Opening Day starter at second base. However, Joey Votto’s injury and Tyler Naquin’s hot hitting has forced David Bell to sit India in favor of Nick Senzel. If the Cincinnati Reds are not able to find a prominent role for India, then the club should option him to Triple-A Louisville.
Don’t view it as punishment, but rather an opportunity for India to get more playing time.
