There is almost always an assumption that the Cincinnati Reds would again take the predictable route as the offseason rolled around. Be it a haphazard re-signing of an aging Ryan Ludwick, a multi-year guarantee to Skip Schumaker for leadership, or ‘Scott Feldman - Opening Day Starter [TM],” picking around the corners of the bargain-bin has become something of the Reds forte over the last half-dozen years. Despite rumblings that the club finally had some money and high aspirations this winter, I think it’s fair to say each and every one of us has adopted a pretty firm see it to believe it stance on that premise, however.
