Description
The MLB Lockout drones on as more games were cancelled on Wednesday. Jeff and Steve break down what happened in the CBA negotiations between the players and the owners and why they are now looking at an Opening Day of April 14. They also dig into the Cincinnati Reds lineup and tell you why they aren't the best in the NL Central, but they could be.
Reports on the latest CBA negotiations by the players and owners, as of Tuesday night, were glowingly positive. The MLB Lockout was close to ending...or so we thought. Then another wrinkle was added by the owners that the players were not about to agree to, and the process, once again, got derailed. Who can we trust to report what is actually going on in these negotiations? Why does it seem as though the players were made out as the bad guys, this time around? When will we get baseball back?
The Cincinnati Reds lineup, once we get baseball back, has some nice pieces. Jonathan India, Joey Votto, and Tyler Stephenson, as well as Jesse Winker and Tyler Naquin against right-handed pitchers, are all solid options. The rest of the lineup is a crapshoot. It's because of that Jeff and Steve don't see this as the best lineup in the NL Central...but it could be.
The Reds could have the best lineup in the division if they make a move to bring in a right-handed hitting outfielder. They could even get a guy like Andrew McCutcheon to really solidify this group. Aristides Aquino just isn't cutting it, anymore. They also need a second catcher, behind Tyler Stephenson. However they go about filling those spots, this will be our first chance to really grade Nick Krall.
