Hit-n-Run
Go Reds!!!
I'm not sold on Dick Williams. He's good with the press and fans in live furums, but as much as he talks about change, he generally circles back to defend the old guards past practice. Whether that's out of loyalty and respect or it's going to be business as usual, it's too early to tell.
I'd imagine most fans would agree the Reds are at least a few years away from seriously contending. With that in mind, the current 25 man roster is probably 80% irrelevant to the future success of the team. Some will be traded to acquire additional prospects and a few will be here 5-6 years down the road, while others will simply have their team control/contracts expire or be released due to non-performance. It's difficult to accurately predict who will be tomorrow's Reds' stars and it's impossible to predict the roster personnel beyond that 5-6 year window. But I think the speculation makes for interesting discussion.
There are pieces in place that at least suggest there's a method to the madness.
