This Puig guy seems to be getting worse as seasons go on. Will he hit .345 this year or his usual .260's?
He won't hit 345. He will hit mucho HRs and drive in many runs. Reds will have top 5 NL offense this year.

If Puig hits 35+ HR's he is worth the effort. I hope he does well. I want the Reds in contention to push the Cardinals.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Cards are going to be VERY good this year.  Reds will challenge them well. The NL is a tough division, one of the top in baseball with Cubs and Cards and Brewers being strong. Pirates have some pitching but they lost some players too. They will be good. Like to see Reds pick up Josh Harrison

I look for Nick Senzel to get shot at CF. He will be an upgrade offensively over Billy Hamilton but he won't be as good as him on defense.
Senzel will struggle a bit but in his rookie year this summer he should progress into a fine player.

The Royals signed Homer Bailey to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training. Heâ€s spent his entire career with the Reds.

Absolutely FALSE. You better go back and reread his years in Cincinnati. He drove in no less than 90 runs each year after that and hit no less than 273 with solid HR production. He had outstanding years in Cincinnati.
