Reds likely unchanged lineup for 1920 season
Veteran manager Moran plans to field a near identical Cincinnati Reds crew for the opening against the Cubs. The core group remains, with Werrmann, Daubert, Groh, and Moran’s trusted staff back, while two young pitchers Clarence and Linwood Smith join the staff. The club expects strong pitching, solid defense, and a competitive chase for the National League pennant after a glorious 1919 season.
