Back on January 27th we made an initial guess on how the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day lineup would look given that their first game of the season was set to be two months away - on March 27th - against the San Francisco Giants.
Given that righty Logan Webb will more likely than not be the Giants starter on that day, I pitched the following lineup:
1) TJ Friedl - CF
2) Elly De La Cruz - 3B
3) Matt McLain - SS
4) Jeimer Candelario - DH
5) Tyler Stephenson - C
6) Gavin Lux - 2B
7) Spencer Steer - 1B
8) Jake Fraley - RF
9) Will Benson - LF
SP: Hunter Greene
Since then, the Reds have unveiled a much different gameplan.
