March Madness features several NBA prospects
Anyone watching the NCAA Tournament exclusively to get a closer look at the top prospects in the upcoming NBA draft is in for a disappointment.
Matt’s Take – Roster issues, no slow starts
Remember when we were all freaking out about playing time and how much depth this team was filled with? I’d like to go back to that time about now, as there are some real concerns with this roster going into the week before the regular season. Cincinnati is now without TJ Friedl (Right wrist fracture), Noelvi Marte (PEDS Suspension), Nick Lodolo (Week behind roughly), and we can’t forget that Brandon Williamson, Nick Martinez, Alex Young, Ian Gibaut, Matt McLain, and Jonathan India have some injuries that they are working their way back from or dealing with as well. A healthy rotation and a healthy roster is key to winning the National League Central and with the losses of recent, Cincinnati may need to be looking to add to this roster unless they are comfortable with Stuart Fairchild, Will Benson, or Blake Dunn taking over in centerfield. The addition of Candelario certainly makes me feel a little better with the news from Marte, but his time in Spring Training has been less than stellar. My fingers are crossed that this doesn’t turn into a “Moose contract” as that still haunts the people of Cincinnati.
