The Reds in the Playoffs? | Cincinnati Sports's Blog

Well this is my first blog post for this group but I will make it good I swear.

Yes, I think the Reds are actually going to win their division because well the Cubs are not as good as everyone thinks they are. The Brewers don't have the pitching right now. The Cardinals are well not that good.

Now lets look at what the Reds have right now.

They have a really good lineup in a ball park that allows more homeruns than Barry Bonds has. Brandon Phillips and Adam Dunn, and Griffey Jr. are all studs that can create one of the best middle of the lineup in all of baseball. Freel and Patterson can get the table set. Encarnacion is pretty good. Plus they have to great prospects in Votto and Bruce waiting to get their chances.

Of course they always had a hard time with the whole pitching thing but this year is going to be a lot different. Arron Harang is an upper echelon ace. Arroyo is well serviceable. Johnny Cueto could be the NL Rookie of the year and could have a rookie year like Kazmir or Liriano if he stays healthy. He is good. They sured up their bullpen by adding Francisco Cordero to close and have Weathers as a set up man.

In that division they deffinetly have a good chance of winning it. I will go so far as to say that they even have a chance to make it to the World Series. Where there they will end up losing I am sorry from the team up I-71 (my team) the Cleveland Indians.

There you go there is my prediction for the Reds.

P.S. I think Homer Bailyer could regain form and become the great prospect he was before.

It's early, but if the pitching can keep up, they'll make it to the playoffs for sure. They still need more consistent hitters and speed at the end of the rotation. Remember this is even without Jay Bruce, who's going to tear up the NL Central. The NL Central is going to suck this year. The Cubs have no pitching in their rotation or in their bullpen. The Brewers have the same problem. The Pirates, Cardinals, and Astros are a joke. I have no doubt the Reds will win the division.
