Awhile ago I got the idea to write about the Reds bench. More specifically, to write about the type of bench the Reds have put together over the last several seasons and see if we can find anything interesting.
I think the narrative is already in place. The Reds prefer to spend money on aging journeymen who are past their primes and are no longer capable of providing any tangible value on the field. Whether or not that is true, the phrase “We got Jack for that” is still probably rolling around in a lot of our heads.
