The Cincinnati Reds best position group is catcher. Nick Krall did a good job of strengthening the position by bolstering the spots behind Tyler Stephenson with Curt Casali and Luke Maile. This position group will be a big reason why the Reds are better next year. But will David Bell be a reason they are better? We try to quantify whether Bell is above replacement level or below replacement level as a manager. Also, there is a statistic that defined the struggles of the Reds lineup last year. We look at what it is and why the Reds must be better at it in 2023.
