Phil Castellini wants Cincinnati Reds fans to trust ownership that they know what they are doing. Jeff and Steve look at why this is so backwards. They also talk about the inflexibility of the Cincinnati Reds roster that, with two injuries to Jose Barrero and Donovan Solano, they must now have a backup shortstop who has played all of six MLB games at shortstop, in Brandon Drury. They also look at how the Reds will clear roster space for non-roster players who are clearly going to break Spring Training with the Reds. They then look at the pitching staff that is dealing with injuries to Luis Castillo and Mike Minor and why Nick Lodolo may not make the Opening Day roster, after all.
