2017 was not penciled in to be a great year for the Reds, and despite some early signs of potential .500 baseball, things will more than likely regress closer to the preseason projections. The rebuild is not quite complete as injuries are taking their toll and younger players are showing that they are in fact young players. What is important is that we remind ourselves that winning, or in this case losing, is not everything and there are still encouraging signs to focus on and help us stay positive.
