When watching a Cincinnati Reds game these days, be sure to check your lineup card because players like Joey Votto (injured for the season), Tommy Pham (traded to Boston), and Brandon Drury (traded to SD) just left the organization, leaving the team’s regular lineup cluttered with guys having a chance to shine.
