The Reds enjoyed a rare off day on Thursday after crushing Team Canada by a tally of 12-2 Wednesday night. The win effectively snapped a seven-game losing skid for Dusty Baker's bunch.
Well, not really because the game doesn't officially count on their spring training record. However, do any of these games really matter at all? I'll answer that with another question: Is Joey Votto awesome? I rest my case.
Anyways, Thursday's break in the action gave me a chance to mull over the spring stat sheet to uncover which players have been performing well, and which players have been performing poorly. Now, most of these stats aren't good indicators on future regular season success, but it's all we have to go on for the moment, so there.
Who's Hot
Henry Rodriguez - Leads the team in hits (8) to go along with a .444 average. He has yet to strikeout in 18 at-bats. He also has three RBI.
Joey Votto - Tied for second-most hits on the team (7)...

Are the Reds making the right decision moving Aroldis Chapman to the rotation?
Two of the biggest factors that contributed to the Reds' 2012 success was that they had a solid, stable rotation and arguably the best bullpen in baseball. Considering that Cincinnati is returning almost the exact same pitching staff...

Will Aroldis Chapman be a starter or reliever in 2013?
When Aroldis Chapman got his 6th speeding ticket for going 93 mph, it was after his Kentucky driver’s license had already been taken away. The judge let it slide I’m assuming because he realized that 93 miles per hour is simply a changeup for Chapman.
It’s his fastball that’s really fast. I was watching him pitch on TV...

One of the challenges when it comes to ranking players by position in fantasy baseball is trying to determine which player is going to have that breakout season and return a profit to your auction buy or draft pick. When reviewing the list of third basemen for the 2013 season, my pick to break out is Todd Frazier of the Cincinnati Reds.
Frazier took over at third base for the Reds...

You know the usual suspects on the Reds: Votto, Chapman, Phillips, Latos, Bruce, Choo, and so on and so forth. None of them are really going to be an x-factor this year, because everyone is counting on them to be a huge part of the team. So when looking for someone a bit under the radar to make an impact on such a star-studded team, you've got to think about more than the usual...

Final Roster Spots
Cincinnati’s has one of the easier opening day rosters to predict after returning most of their players from a 97-win season. Dusty Baker’s management style utilizes all 25 of the active roster spots and there still is some competition for utility infield and bullpen jobs as the season approaches.
