I feel for Tony Santillan at the moment. He’s been such a vital part of the Cincinnati Reds bullpen, when healthy, for several years now, but it’s undeniable that he’s been struggling for weeks now to no avail.

One prospect we are excited to see in a starting spot is Florida EDGE LJ McCray. McCray appeared in ten games last season, but is expected to take on a heavier workload this season.
