The biggest thing holding the Reds back this season is that they don't have a leadoff hitter, according to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
- The team won't be making a big push for Cole Hamels or Zack Greinke. Their blockbuster move happened last winter, when the team traded prospects to acquire Mat Latos.
- The Reds could use another power hitter like Carlos Quentin or Josh Willingham, but club officials said acquiring a leadoff man will be easier.
- Rosenthal mentions Denard Span, David DeJesus, Shane Victorino, Juan Pierre and Coco Crisp as potential targets for the Reds.
- Pierre could be a more attractive target than Victorino since he's owed substantially less money this season, and is performing slightly better.
