Pekka Rinne Is Good Again
“I don’t know what he needed to prove to anybody,” Austin Watson said of goaltender Pekka Rinne, but I think it was pretty obvious.

Brandon Phillips spent a decade wearing No. 4 for the Reds before the team dealt him away this winter in a transaction that was years in the making.
