I do think the stable lineup Riggleman ran out there for awhile did enable the team to play at least well enough to be relevant for 60 days or so. That would be useful come ST if the infield is in place and at least 2 outfielders are game ready. Appears, so far, that is the case.
Of course, hamstrings and obliques ... Cincy does not have NAPA replacement parts. They go to the scrap heap behind Earl Scheib's garage.
Anybody thinks the 'we're gonna get the pitching' line that Castellini threw out there ... yes, Bob has no idea about how the game is played. He needs to own the thing, not run it. Even I can look at the list of pitchers on the FA list and compare it to the guys the Reds have ... seriously? Lance Lynn?
The Reds go into the FA market with one hand inside the bag without looking inside the bag to see what's rattling in there.
They still will give up 2 or 3 homers a game in GABP and we all know it.
If they are serious, they go out and get 2 or 3 home run hitters and try to win 13-11, just like the 1956 Redlegs, who almost won a pennant.
