Opening day is under 2 months away, and Spring Training is coming up soon as well.

So lets get some predictions in. Who do you guys think will be in our rotation? Who is going to be the starting 10 in the field?

Also, if you want to register for the chance to buy opening day tickets, go to reds.com/openingday.

Oh and, the true GOAT:

Rotation:

Arroyo (Opening Day starter)
Cueto
Volquez
Wood
Bailey/Leake (The other breaks camp in the bullpen)

Starting 8 (not 10, durr):
C - Hernandez
1B - Toss up, probably Votto (Derp!)
2B - Phillips
SS - Janish
3B - Rolen
LF - Gomes
CF - Stubbs

Bought season tickets this year so I won't have to worry about Opening Day or playoff tickets. Sweet relief!
RF - Bruce

I think Leake will start the season in the pen. Maybe he'll even start in the minors? I don't know.

C- Hernandez/Hanigan
1B- Votto
2B- Phillips
3B- Rolen
SS- Janish/Renteria
LF- Gomes/Heisey/Fred Lewis
CF- Stubbs/Heisey
RF- Bruce

Rotation
Arroyo
Cueto
Wood
Volquez
Bailey

Pen
LeCure
Arredondo
Bray
Ondrusek
Chapman
Masset
Cordero

Position Players
Hernandez/Hanigan
Votto
Phillips
Janish/Renteria
Rolen/Cairo
Lewis/Gomes
Stubbs/Heisey
Bruce


Just missing team: to AAA
Willis
Burton
Leake
Francisco


although with several off days early in the year I could see LeCure in AAA also and Willis or Francisco up.


edit: looks like I'm 1 spot short. Francisco probably has an edge since he is a lefty. Maybe Frazier, Cozart or Valaika if they tear it up in AZ.

I believe you meant to say they will win the third round of the playoffs.

hasn't everyone played in a beer drinking intramural softball league at some point? Some of the best times during college.

You play with a left center and right center fielder.

Will Cincinnati be considered the favorite to win the Central this year? What moves did St Louis make?

Yeah, S&L is trying to be funny. Either that or he is trying to figure out if Mike, Sam, and Will play.

Cardinals got Berkman, Theriot, Laird, resigned Westbrook.

Brewers made the biggest splash.

Greinke, Marcum, kept Prince. They are about to sign Mark Kotsay to help their bench.

Softball is a lot of fun if you're not stuck playing against the douche that takes it too seriously.

It is a lot of fun playing against a team full of douches that take it too seriously and beating them.
