Cedric Benson, the three-time 1,000-yard rusher for the Bengals, might be the most recognizable name on the 2002 Gulf Coast League Dodgers to most Cincinnati fans. Or maybe it’s one-time Reds’ foe Russell Martin, one of only three ’02 GCL Dodgers alums who will wear a major league uniform next year. The second is current free agent Joakim Soria, a well-traveled reliever with over 200 saves to his name. But it’s the third—a veteran of 13 minor league seasons who has recorded 113 saves in five organizations—who is poised to make the biggest impact on the 2016 Reds.
