Idk about that... Reds pitching has been good during this now 11 game win streak, they have a damn good bullpen... Greene, Lodolo, Ashcraft and Abbott make up one hell of a rotation... Yes I know 3 of these guys are on IL.
Reds have called up #1 prospect in Baseball and legit future superstar Elly De La Cruz... Reds youth movement is in full swing now.
Won't be long and CES will be up as well.
CES may end up being DH... Spencer Steer is having a great rookie season, they moved him to 1B not that long ago.... ELDC - 3B, McLain - SS, India - 2B, Steer - 1B, yea that is one hell of a young, dynamic INF.
I havent heard De La Cruz to CF, you may be thinking of McLain... He played some CF at UCLA.
But Elly is gonna be a star... Reds are gonna be an exciting team to watch going forward.
Reds are gonna be a legit team possibly as soon as 2024...
They have Votto and Moose money coming off the books (wouldn't be surprised to see them spend now)
ELDC, CES and Marte are legit power hitters
Have a nice 1/2 punch in Greene, Lodolo and Diaz is tough at the back end of pen
If we don't make some changes in the near future, we could easily be looking up at the Reds and Cardinals for years to come.
As long as we re-sign BA, I'm good with moving Adames... An INF of Anderson - 3B, Turang - SS, Urias - 2B has the making of being really solid.
I think a deal starting with Stone or Pepiot, plus others would be a win for both teams.
