The Cincinnati Reds have made some significant roster moves, sending Will Benson and five other players back to minor league camp. This raises some intriguing questions about the future of these players and the overall direction of the team.

Will Benson's struggles at the plate have been well-documented, and while he showed some power this spring, his .200 batting average is concerning. With the addition of Austin Hays, it seems like Benson's path to the big leagues has become even more complicated. Do you think he can turn things around in Triple-A, or is it time for the Reds to consider other options in the outfield?

On the pitching side, the reassignment of pitchers like Bryan Shaw and Chase Petty also sparks debate. Shaw's high walk rate is alarming, and while Petty has shown promise with a solid ERA, his control issues could hinder his progress. How do you feel about the Reds' pitching depth? Are there any hidden gems among the reassigned players that could make an impact later in the season?

Moreover, with injuries piling up, particularly behind the plate, how do you see the Reds navigating their roster as they approach Opening Day? Who do you think will step up to fill the gaps, and what bold predictions do you have for the team's performance this season?

Let's dive into these questions and share our thoughts on the Reds' roster decisions and what they mean for the team's future!
