It didn’t take long for Reds manager Bryan Price to make this decision and, at the same time, create a little news on the day that pitchers and catchers are reporting to spring training in Goodyear, Arizona.

Essentially, according to the reports, Price says that the second base job — in the wake of yesterday’s Brandon Phillips trade — is Jose Peraza’s to lose. Zack Cozart will be the starting shortstop.
