00:00Let's get to the next team on our list that I'm a little bit sunnier on. A very athletic team,
00:05a team that brought in a veteran manager in Terry Francona year over year. It's the Cincinnati Reds.
00:09Now this lineup has some athleticism. T.J. Friedle at the top, Matt McClain who's got
00:14power and speed, Eli De La Cruz, a budding young superstar, then Tyler Stevenson.
00:19After this again, top three good. Starts to get a little weird here as we go.
00:25We're looking at Spencer Steers health fitting in here at some point. Gavin Lux at third,
00:30Austin Hayes in left field, Jake Fraley at DH, Candelario, Will Benson, who again,
00:35athletic player, but the top of this order is really what you have to count on.
00:41Hunter Green, Brady Singer, Nick Lodolo in the rotation. Now Lodolo, a guy that I actually have
00:47a lot of expectations for this year. Sometimes lefties take a little bit longer in the pressure
00:51cooker to cook up. I think he's got all of the makeup, all the right tools. He's just got to
00:56stay healthy this year. If he does, I think he'll be a nice late round pitcher in fantasy,
01:02but Green, Lodolo, Singer, that's enough of a rotation where I think they can be very competitive.
01:07The bullpen, some questions there. What do you make of this highly athletic Reds team,
01:12but still very young and inexperienced?
01:17You know, I'm hoping I'm a year off on them. I thought they would have a better year last
01:21year than they did. All right. So I think I had a ticket on the women's division,
01:24didn't pan out that way. So I'm hoping I was a year early. I think it's, listen,
01:29it's a very similar team to Milwaukee. All right. I mean, once again, you got some good bats there,
01:34but it's thin as you go down the line up there. They need another bat or two. I do like the
01:38rotation. They need Green to be that guy. I'm not, I'm listening. I'm not talking to Rick
01:43Squibble. All right. But just be that guy, be the true number one, settle everybody down,
01:47put everybody in their place here. The rotation is more deep than it is, has more quantity than
01:53it is quality. But listen, there's something to be said for quality. We can get decent starts out
01:57of people, game in and game out here. You know, you can survive an injury or two. Once again,
02:01I'm going to put them in the same category, somewhere around 500, probably that 80 to 84
02:06wins there. I said 79 to 74 for Milwaukee. I'd probably put them at 80 to 84. Maybe a tick
02:11better than Milwaukee, but not much. Health will determine their fate.
