Reds: Dee Strange-Gordon’s versatility opens another roster spot

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Dee Strange-Gordon (6) grabs a bouncing ground ball.

Count me in among the skeptics when the Cincinnati Reds signed Dee Strange-Gordon to a minor-league contract earlier this offseason. My doubts had to do with Strange-Gordon’s ability to be the team’s regular shortstop.

However, after David Bell made the switch to Eugenio Suárez taking reps at his former position, it now seems as though Strange-Gordon, along with Kyle Farmer, will be relegated to the role of utility player. That, I can deal with.

Dee Strange-Gordon can give the Reds an additional outfielder.
