Entering spring training, both Rookie Davis and Sal Romano were on the outside looking in at getting a chance to start for the Cincinnati Reds at the beginning of the 2017 season. Now they have both positioned themselves as possible solutions to a thinned out rotation. Perhaps even more impressively, Romano has taken the lead.
Davis has had a decent spring and was the primary return in the Aroldis Chapman trade last year. At 23 years of age no one expects too much consistency from him, but Davis has shown the ability to be consistent so far.
