There are some pretty heavy expectations heaped onto the shoulders of the Cincinnati Reds. A lot of pundits, experts and fans expect the Redlegs to, at the very least, contend for the NL Central Division title. Many sports-related websites project how well certain players will perform during the upcoming season. Which three Reds will outperform those projections?
Sonny Gray, Robert Stephenson and José Iglesias certainly outperformed expectations last season. Gray, after being traded from the New York Yankees, went to the All-Star Game, while Stephenson found a home in the Reds bullpen and Iglesias put up terrific numbers at the dish while also wowing fans with dazzling defense in the field.
