The Reds DH is likely to be split among several players.

While David Bell has yet to announce his starting lineup for the Cincinnati Reds opener against the Detroit Tigers, Nick Castellanos would obviously prefer not to be the team’s designated hitter. That’s just fine, because Jesse Winker could fill that role nicely and should be the primary player to occupy that spot on a consistent basis.

Castellanos, via Reds.com, spoke about playing for the Reds and his desire to the team’s everyday right fielder.
