FRANCHISE 2010
PITCHING WILL HAVE TO LEAD REDS

CINCINNATI - LEF BY FIVE SOLID STARTING PITCHERS, THE 2010 REDS WILL RELY ON ITS MOUNDSMEN TO TRY AND CAPTURE THE NL CENTRAL.
COMING OFF A DISMAL 6-21 EXHIBITION MARK, THE OFFENSE SHOWED LITTLE SPARK ALTHOUGH DECENT POWER AND SPEED NUMBERS WERE PRODUCED.
"REMEMBER, WE DID LOSE OUR FIRST NINE EXHIBITION GAMES," SAID FIRST-YEAR MANAGER SCOTTY QUEEN. "WE SHOWED SOME RESILIENCE AFTER THAT."
QUEEN, SIGNED TO A FOUR-YEAR DEAL, CAN CONSIDER HIS JOB SAFE FOR THE FUTURE, BUT ALL HIS COACHES ARE IN THE FINAL YEARS OF THEIR CONTRACTS.
"OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S SOMETHING THE ORGANIZATION IS AWARE OF," SAID AN NL SCOUT. " A DECENT START MEANS THOSE GUYS MUST BE GIVEN SECURITY, OR CINCY'S WHOLE SEASON COULD BREAK DOWN VERY QUICKLY."
