It's already begun

Thoughts from Jerry Narron, reported by Marc:

On Edwin Encarnacion at third base: "It would be awesome to see him come into spring training, start the year and play outstanding. That's what we're hoping for, and if he does that, he doesn't have to worry about playing. But having Richie back gives us an alternative, and Eddie's going to have to play well to go out there and play every day."

EdE is going to have to have a monster spring, and that might not even be enough.  Get ready for:

1. Tony Womack, 2B
   
2. Rich Aurilia, 3B

every single day.  The Reds just keep digging deeper, which is amazing because I could have sworn they hit bottom half a dozen times previous to this.
