Key departures: LHP Arthur Rhodes, RHP Aaron Harang, SS Orlando Cabrera, OF Laynce Nix.
Knowns: Reigning MVP Joey Votto heads a deep cast of young, hungry players who follow the example set by Scott Rolen.
Unknowns: Will the Reds get the quality work they expect from a group of young pitchers led by Cuban LHP Aroldis Chapman? Will the inconsistent Renteria hold up?
Playoffs coming if … Baker's pitching staff handles the 2010 workload better than his Cubs' staff did from 2003 to '04.
When did this happen?
Sucks to see Lance go though.
I hope this team has mentally recovered from the Phillies. This team got smacked around by the good teams more often than not last year. Hopefully they get that turned around.
*Will make sure to show my screen name often due to being called a bangwagoner late last season.

But on the real I am glad Drayton is putting his big ego aside so the team can rebuild. If we catch all the breaks with how typically Astros seasons go, they could break 80 wins.
BTW Bud "Cardinal killer" Norris does throw over 90.
