The fans of the Reds are hoping that this season will bring a much closer run at the pennant than the last couple have seen. The Independent League Assessors think the team will have a better season as they see the team picking up 33 wins and 2nd place in the NL table.
The team will continue to play 60 games this season as the MLB schedule stays unaltered.
The GM and Manager have stuck with the players available on the 1st January. This has led to the below 25 man roster being selected for opening day.
