Sometimes, the twists and turns of sports drama seem too calcluated to be real. Disney endings, computer catch-up mode, and the likes. On Friday, that drama has hit the Cincinnati Reds like a ton of bricks, as CF Nick Senzel was reassigned to minor league camp after losing out on his bid to make the Opening Day roster, the IF turned CF top prospect likely destined for AAA Louisville to wait-out what could be an expensive service clock deadline.
Of course, Senzel was only in CF in the first place this spring because he was blocked at his natural positions of 3B and 2B, at the former by All Star Eugenio Suarez, at the latter by All Star Scooter Gennett.
