CINCINNATI REDS
1877 Finish: 29-28, 3rd place
1878 Prediction: 3rd place
Cincinnati is basically the same team they were last year, absent star pitcher Sam Weaver, which is a big loss. At some point this season they may add star catching prospect King Kelly, and of course they are potentially one Dan Collins signing away from contending. Their projected starting players:
C - Bill Craver (.268 in 1877)
1b - Cap Anson (.291 in 1877)
2b - Mike McGeary (.249 in 1877)
ss - John Bass (.296 in 1877)
3b - Bob Ferguson (.257 in 1877)
lf - Charley Jones (.294 in 1877)
cf - Jim Holdsworth (.269 in 1877)
rf - John McMullin (.261 in 1877)
p - Hugh O'Neil (1-2, 4.09 in 1877)
p - Bobby Mitchell (9-11, 3.43 in 1877)
