Cincinnati Reds need to let Brandon Phillips know that he is not the starting second baseman

The Cincinnati Reds’ front office keeps telling the media and fans that Dilson Herrera and Jose Peraza will have plenty of playing time at second base, while letting Phillips to walk around telling everyone that he is the starting second baseman. They have other options. This is the same thing that happened last year, which led to Phillips declining a pair of deal. If he thinks he can set his own playing time, there is no incentive for Phillips to move to another team.

Herrera is a powerful middle infielder. He has only had 149 big league at-bats, but he already has 6 home runs.
