The young Reds claim they're learning to win, and if they carry over a nice win binge from this September into the spring, watch out. With an 11-5 record over their last 16 games against all winning teams, Cincinnati holds some competitive cards for next year.
Players like Jay Bruce and Joey Votto are pacing the late surge offensively. Edinson Volquez pitched in this year's All-Star game, and Johnny Cueto should be that much better after one year of experience. Even Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo showed some flashes late in the year.
We can't forecast Cincinnati as a playoff team next year, but the Reds should make some waves in 2009.
