When keeping things in perspective, it has already been a very good season for the Cincinnati Reds. They are playing meaningful baseball into the month of September. Despite playing more rookies than anyone in baseball, and facing several key injuries, the team is still in the playoff picture through 145 games. However, once you get this close, it is hard to not want more. The Reds have so much young talent and are knocking at the door of the playoffs. It is going to be an uphill battle in the final few weeks of the season though.
