Four outfielders. Three outfield positions. Early returns with the Reds’ 2018 outfield rotation weren’t favorable for then-manager Bryan Price or interim manager Jim Riggleman.

I understand the idea that it would be better to be able to get into a rhythm as a big league baseball player. Knowing you’re going to be in the lineup every day would allow for the mind to be at ease, if nothing else – although with the Reds, there would seem to be evidence that Adam Duvall would benefit from multiple days off, given his solid first half numbers in 2016 and 2017 (and putrid second half numbers).
