Dick Williams, the new general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, is looking to stock up in the bullpen and on the bench. He has four pitchers already in the system to support the bullpen next year. What the Red don’t have is any certainty behind the plate.
The Reds have a great young, potential closer in Michael Lorenzen. He did some middle relief work for them the second half of the season. As an ace closer in college, he is their best option to close for 2017.
They also have the returning closer, Tony Cingrani.
