http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007702110452 BY JOHN FAY Here's our best guess at the 25-man roster coming north. Last year, we were 20-for-25. The Bronson Arroyo-for-Wily Mo Pen~a trade cost us two spots: Lineup Ryan Freel, CF: He'll be leading off. Still too early to be certain whether he'll be in center field or right. (守中外野不錯) Brandon Phillips, 2B: If Phillips can build on last year, he's a budding star. Ken Griffey Jr., RF: The Reds need him to be the 2005 Griffey, not the 2006 Griffey. (別再受傷啦!!) Adam Dunn, LF: Hopefully for the Reds, not trying to make the switch to first base will help Dunn's offense. (希望別再那麼盲了) Edwin Encarnacion, 3B: His bat is good enough - .276, 15 HRs, 72 RBI in 117 games last season - but he needs to cut his errors by a third or more. Twenty-five is too many. Scott Hatteberg, 1B: He had a good year, despite a disastrous September (.206, no HRs, four RBI). Alex Gonzalez, SS: The Reds are hoping for an average in the .260 range and 60, 70 RBI. His defense is what they're paying for. David Ross, C: He tailed off after the All-Star Break, but 21 HRs and 52 RBI in 247 at-bats isn't bad. Bench Juan Castro, INF: If they gave a Gold Glove to a utility player, he'd deserve it. Jeff Conine, 1B/OF: How effective he is as the right-handed-hitting first baseman will be a key to the club's success. Josh Hamilton, OF: The Reds seem set on carrying him on the roster. He's athletic enough to play defense in the big leagues now. But his bat is rusty and unproven. Chad Moeller, C: GM Wayne Krivsky seems to like the three-catcher setup. If the club goes with two catchers, Chris Denorfia or Norris Hopper would make the team in the outfield. Javier Valentin, C: He hit .286 vs. right-handers and tied for the NL lead with five pinch-hit home runs. Rotation Aaron Harang: If he can take the next step, you can call him an ace. Last year's numbers - 16-11, 3.78 ERA, a league-leading 215 strikeouts - aren't too bad. Bronson Arroyo: Throw out his awful July and he was 14-8 with a 2.95 ERA. Even with the bad month, he was the Reds' best starter. Eric Milton: This is the Reds' last chance for big returns on their $25 million investment. Kyle Lohse: When he's on, he's very good. Trouble is, he's been off as much as on the last couple of years. Kirk Saarloos: He was 10-9 two years ago. The Reds would take that in the fifth spot. Bullpen Matt Belisle: We're assuming Saarloos is the fifth starter. Belisle had a good year and was good in Winter Ball. Question is whether his back is OK for the long haul. Bill Bray: Thing to remember is he's only 23. Todd Coffey: He could end up getting another shot at closing. Throw out one awful appearance and his ERA was 3.12 last season. Rheal Cormier: His ERA was nearly three runs higher after the trade from Philly. Gary Majewski: The Reds are hoping rest was all his shoulder needed. Mike Stanton: Turns 40 on June 2, but he was good as the closer late last season for San Francisco. David Weathers: Had a 1.64 ERA in 29 appearances in the second half last season. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.105.91.64
