If I was running the reds Suarez would be my SS and Senzel would take over 3rd. Perraza would sub up the middle and in CF when needed. Gennett while he hits is terrible fielding as is Winker.
I 1000% agree.

Regular lineup against RHP for me would be

Gennett 2B
Suarez SS
Votto 1B
Duvall LF
Winker CF
Senzel 3B
Schebler RF
Barnhart C
P

I worry about Garrett going back into the rotation. I'm not sure if he'll ever be a legit starter. Last year his OPS allowed as the game went on was:

1st time through the order - .856 OPS allowed
2nd time through - .882 OPS allowed
3rd time through - 1.206 OPS allowed

He also allowed a higher OPS on regular rest than on an extra day. A little concerning for me.
