What's your expectations for this year Reds fans? I say go for at least an NL Central championship. Go Reds!!!

Barring some major injuries, this team should win the NL Central and can make a long postseason run. Adding Matt Latos to the rotation should solidify the rotation. the day to day lineup should be very solid. Defense is good.

Have no clue....since the Reds have been in Arizona, don't follow any spring training anymore.

I'll wait until they become the Cincinnati Reds again at the beginning of April....then I'll pay attention.

Two weeks from tomorrow, opening day!

[NC Rattlesnake]

^^Woohoo!!!

[Patt68]

I try not to get my hopes up.

On paper, chances for the Reds look very good this year.

But a lot has to go right for any team to win their division or make a long playoff run.

Need to stop this platoon game and let the best players play. If those don't produce bring another set of players. We should learn something from the Cardinals!

[NC Rattlesnake]

^^They are Pujols-less. They are done.

[14Red]

Opening day starting lineup...

[NC Rattlesnake]

^^I know Cueto's starting......not sure about the rest.

[14Red]

Just looking for suggestions...

Here's mine...

2B Phillips
SS Cozart
1B Votto
3b Rolen
RF Bruce
CF Stubbs
LF Heisey
C Hannigan
P Cueto

[Drewline]

Scheduled opening day starter, Cueto has been very shaky.

[tcby99]

They will win the division...I hope...

NC,

I would agree that the loss of Pujols is certainly a problem for St. Louis this season, but the most serious loss in the dugout for the Cardinals will definitely be the manager. Tony Larussa was one of the best at his craft as far back as you'd like to go.
