Cincinnati Reds Suites

The Cincinnati Reds are fully committed to rebuild in 2016. The Reds suffered their second straight losing season a year ago. Many players have been traded in efforts to acquire young talent. With that said, there is a lot of reasons to be excited about the Reds this year. A young pitching core is expected to surprise a lot of people in 2016 and their lineup will still be headlined by Joey Votto.

Votto had a great season last year and there’s no reason to think he won’t in 2016. Votto is one of the best in baseball in getting on base. Speedster Billy Hamilton will leadoff for the club. Hamilton is quick enough to turn singles into doubles and is a threat to steal a base every time he gets on base. Zack Cozart is more known for his stellar defense at shortstop but before getting hurt last year, Cozart was having one of his best offensive seasons. A healthy Devin Mesoraco can go a long way for the Reds. Mesoraco has proven to be one of the better offensive catchers in the National League. Veteran Brandon Phillips is back at second base and Jay Bruce will look for a bounce back year. Bruce has been involved in trade rumors since the offseason began. Fans will get to see Scott Schebler in the outfield. Schebler is a young power hitter who was acquired in the Todd Frazier trade. This will also be the year to see if Eugenio Suarez can prove himself at third base and be productive enough in the lineup.

While you won’t see guys like Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake this year, fans will get to see the likes of Anthony DeSclafani and Raisel Iglesias. DeSclafani showed he can be a front of rotation pitcher for the long term. Iglesias came out firing for the Reds last year. He is a strikeout machine and could be the ace of this staff by the end of the year. Michael Lorenzen is another player who came up with the Reds during the season last year. Lorenzen is a quality arm and will get to start the year with the big club. At some point in 2016, the Reds should end up calling up two of their best prospects in Robert Stephenson and Cody Reed. Both pitchers look to be at the top of the rotation for this club in the future. With Aroldis Chapman gone, J.J. Hoover, Tony Cingrani and Jumbo Diaz will hold down the bullpen. While it doesn’t look to be a playoff year for the Reds, there is a lot to build on. The NL Central will be extremely tough.

The National League Central has become one of the toughest divisions in baseball. The Cincinnati Reds will have their work cut out for them in 2015. A year ago, the Reds finished in fourth place in the NL Central with 76 wins. The Reds made some major changes in the offseason by trading away two key pitchers in their rotation, Mat Latos and Alfredo Simon. In return the Reds have improved their farm system with a lot of young talent. The Reds have also signed outfielder Marlon Byrd to replace Ryan Ludwick. Byrd previously played for the Phillies and brings along a lot of power to an already solid lineup. The rest of the starting outfield includes speedster Billy Hamilton and Jay Bruce. When Hamilton is on base he becomes an automatic threat to steal a base. Bruce had a down year in 2014 but is still one of the Reds’ best run producers. Catcher Devin Mesoraco emerged onto the scene last year as one of the best hitting catchers in baseball. Mesoraco did sustain a concussion during Spring Training, so side effects from that will be something manager Bryan Price will keep his eye on as the season moves on. The Reds best overall player when healthy is Joey Votto. Votto was limited to just 62 games last season due to injury. The success of the Reds will come down to Votto’s health. When healthy, Votto can hit for average and power. Todd Frazier and Brandon Phillips fill out a very solid lineup. The pitching staff is led by Cy Young Award candidate Johnny Cueto. Following Cueto is Homer Bailey, Mike Leake and Tony Cingrani. The bullpen is anchored by arguably the best closer in the game, Alrodis Chapman. Chapman is a pitcher who can throw over 100 mph. To compete in the NL Central, the Reds will have to get past the Pirates and Cardinals.
