  5. Starting Rotation
    Hunter Greene
    Andrew Abbott
    Nick Lodolo
    Rhett Lowder
    Nick Martinez

    and idk about this but trading Lodolo when Burns is ready might be the play

  6. Santandar cant move. He is awful defensively. This team was minus like 67 runs defensively. They do not need to onoverpay him for his career year.

  7. There have to be significant concerns about Abbott. His advanced metrics point to him being an average to below average pitcher, he is a fly ball pitcher, his strikeout rate and stuff plus numbers are terrible. If you look at Abbott's advanced metrics, it looks like a big regression is due at any time. I would like to see them use Abbott to try to trade for an outfield bat.

  10. I like the idea of both Santander & Hernandez, but believe both will command AAV's closer to $30M than $25M and well out of the Reds price range. I believe Krall finally opens the prospect vault and deals for a younger guy. I believe there's a good chance they also add s 2nd OF with some on-base potential and the ability to cover CF.

  11. They have a medical staff problem in my opinion. The reds constantly have health problems . The problem in today’s game is that the players will go on the IL with the most minor reasons … got a hangnail anyone ? So pampered . Money has ruined players . A lot of players are so jacked up (muscles ) that is . If they move wrong they get injured …

  14. Krall mentioned he wants contact hitting. That leads to Randal Grichak or Max Kepler types. The only power type they'd go for is Conforto whose stats are more like Steer. All 3 of these guys are 10-14 million per year guys. That's the Reds wheelhouse unfortunately.
