2 part Cincinnati Reds question for MLB fans. What is your opinion?

The Reds have done an admirable job in rebuilding their squad all the way around. Rolen has had an incredible year based on his age but I would not say that he is the move that put them into contention the development of their young players especially pitchers and getting Cordero to close it out have been the biggest reasons they are in contention. As far as getting into the playoffs on a regular basis that is going to be hard because like you said they are in a very difficult division with the Cardinals, Cubs, and Brewers however right now I would say that only the Cards are a legit threat to them as the Cubs are a mess and the Brewers can't sustain their payroll and will likely lose Prince in the off-season or next trade deadline. I think that for a while it will be them and the Cards competing each year for the NL Central and uming the development of Chapman perhaps even longer.
