CINCINNATI -- The fortunes of the Reds' rotation can only go up in 2018 after a dismal '17. But during the Hot Stove season, general manager Dick Williams made no moves to add a starting pitcher to bolster the starting five.
That's because Williams and manager Bryan Price believe the answer to improvement is still located within the organization. They're basing that belief on the performances of some of their young pitchers over the final two months of last season and the track record of veterans returning from injury.
Injuries in Spring Training tested Cincinnati's rotation depth from the get-go.
