For an off-season night in mid-November, this is a pretty full dance card. Notice that I say "dance card," rather than "rave schedule." Every Tuesday, WLW is doing their Hot Stove League show,...

Despite the nihilism (or is it crafty gamesmanship?) of the front office, we know the Reds are at least pretending at pursuing a Leadoffman - or, failing that, a coxswain. The player in question will have to man LF or SS, since those are really the only openings in the starting lineup at present .

Here we look forward to 2011 at the handful of positions in which the Reds have potential openings to fill during the off-season and may tap a fresh face as Opening Day starter, whether by free agency, trade or promotion from within.
