The Cincinnati Reds have a problem when planning their batting order for next year, after the first three players, it pretty much falls apart. It’s easy to see that the top three should be Billy Hamilton, Eugenio Suarez, and Joey Votto based on what happened in 2016. After that it is wide open.
Scott Schebler could be the beneficiary of a good placement in the order or have his career derailed completely. Schebler had a great 2016 spring, batting .288 with three home runs. His early season results in Cincinnati were not so good.
Once Jay Bruce left for New York, Schebler stepped into right field and the clean-up spot in the line-up for much of the last two months of the season.
