Reds 2010 Record 82-80 (4th in NL Central)

The Reds had a nice off-season by bringing in veterans Scott Rolen, and Orlando Cabrera while also signing the Cuban flame thrower Aroldis Chapman. I think Chapman will get to start right away even though he is only 22 years old. It's tough to send a player to the minors when they are throwing 100 MPH + and keeping it in the strike zone a fair amount. The Reds will slightly improve in 2010, but they are not quite ready to compete for a playoff spot in the tough NL Central.
