Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cincinnati Reds fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Cincinnati Reds placed Jeimer Candelario on the 10-day injured list today, a list that also currently includes Christian Encarnacion-Strand. Heck, it’s a list that probably should have included Spencer Steer at some point already this April, as the latter has been battling a shoulder issue that a) limited him to DH-only duties for a time and b) has totally sapped his production.
That trio, for the most part, forms the cadre of 1B options for the Reds.
So far this year, Reds 1Bs have hit a collective .175/.232/.316 with 4 homers, production that’s been ‘good’ for just a .244 wOBA and 45 wRC+. That wRC+ is good for the 3rd worst in all of baseball so far, while their 4 collective dingers ranks marginally better.
Here’s the question, though – who ends up hitting the most homers as the 1B of the Reds this year? Is it one of those guys, or is it someone else who seizes the job and blasts right past them?
