GOODYEAR, Ariz. – It’s the elephant in the room that Reds outfielders don’t talk about or even try to think about.
There are six outfielders with Major League experience and there is only so much playing time to go around. Yasiel Puig figures to be the everyday right fielder. Nick Senzel and Scott Schebler are competing in center. Matt Kemp and Jesse Winker are potential starters in left field and Phillip Ervin is looking to earn a roster spot.
