The Reds made huge strides last year despite getting swept in the division series by the Phillies. They added homegrown pieces to their rotation, and MVP Joey Votto helped lead the offense to the playoffs, and Jay Bruce could be on the verge of a 40 home run season The Reds have historically been one of the worst teams in developing young pitchers, but Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, Homer Bailey and Aroldis Chapman have changed that. This young and talented group of players are looking to win back to back division titles and return to the playoffs.
