Cincinnati Reds see how easy it is to replace Zack Cozart

With Zach Vincej playing elite defensive shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds, it is easy to envision a team without Zack Cozart.

Zach Vincej could replace Zack Cozart on the Cincinnati Reds. It is that simple. Who would have thought that?

The Reds didn’t move Cozart at the deadline because of injury and defense. Well, the defense is covered with Vincej. He is a former winner of the minor league Gold Glove at short.

Of course, Vincej has only played in two games defensively for the Reds. Heck, one of those was in relief of Scooter Gennett at second base. That means just one game of perfect defense for Vincej is all that we have at the MLB level.

Offensively, Vincej is 0 for 5 with three walks in…
