After moving from third base to the outfield midway through last season, Noelvi Marte is expected to see some time in center field this spring, according to Charlie Goldsmith.
Marte is very athletic, and the Reds think he has a chance to be an above-average defensive outfielder. We saw glimpses of that at times last season, whether it was showing off his arm throwing runners out at the plate, or his season-saving catch he made at the wall against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Nick Krall was asked about Marte getting reps in center earlier this offseason on the Reds Hot Stove.
"I think, he's obviously a top-of-the-line runner. So, as a game changer, and I don't want to discount TJ (Friedl) either, not at all. I think you're going to see some of these guys go and say, okay, well, what's the best you know who can who can do this? Who can't do this? And you know, when you look at Marte, he played two months in the big leagues, well two months in his career in right field, and they were in the big leagues after basically taking some shagging some balls for a while."

Timing on this checks out. Classic Reds. Hunter Greene is departing spring training with right elbow stiffness. Will be evaluated by team doc Dr. Timothy Kremchek in Cincinnati on March 6th and then by Dr. Neal ElAttrache (thank God) in LA on March 9th.

Dr. ElAttrache is the ortho who did Tom Brady's ACL surgery, and is actually more well regarded within the industry for correcting elbow injuries.

Just being in the same room as the Krem Reaper is a death sentence for an elbow. RIP Hunter's career.
