This spring training might well go down as the single most frustrating for me.
For the bulk of the last quarter-century, the Cincinnati Reds have entered the spring with a group that was either composed of ‘knowns,’ light on expectations, or both composed of ‘knowns’ and light on expectations. The season either didn’t look promising from the start, or we at least knew what to think about the key pieces involved.
This year, though, is mightily different. There are expectations! Yet we basically know little to nothing about most every single player involved!
It’s that kind of scenario that makes you excited, yes, but that also makes you want to turn on the television and watch what they’re doing all the time.
