Redleg Nation Radio: A Cincinnati Reds Podcast

Isn't it time to let the kids shine in Cincinnati? Chad Dotson and Jason Linden discuss the suggestion, made in the digital pages of Redleg Nation this week, that the Reds should give rotation spots to the kids in the competition -- Brandon Finnegan, Amir Garrett, Cody Reed, Robert Stephenson, Rookie Davis, and/or Sal Romano. The answer? It's complicated. Chad and Jason also look at some potential surprise picks to make the Reds Opening Day roster and discuss all the spring training news surrounding the ol' Redlegs. Plus: showering advice for Raisel Iglesias. Thanks for listening. Music for this episode provided by Freekbass.
