I'm starting to wonder if the underachieving Reds just might have a chance to contend this year. Yes, it is still Spring Training, but the pitching has been pretty good, and ideas of a good season are beginning to creep into my head. Claussen pitched a good game today, giving up 2 runs (1 earned) in 4 innings. It seems as if Edwin Encarnation has come around, judging from his torrid spring, and it would be exciting to have another homegrown guy turn out to be something of a ballplayer. In addition, with the way Griffey has been swinging the bat at the WBC, he could ignite the offense in a way he hasn't done in years. On the other hand, when the Reds make Bowdenesque moves like adding another infielder to an already crowded infield, I sort of come back to reality.
I'm starting to be pumped. 18 days to go. The waiting is the hardest part.
