Cozart (finger) will be available as a pinch runner Sunday, but he might not start for the next couple of days, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "He can pinch run, he could possibly even hit," manager Dusty Baker said. "He doesn't feel the tip of that (index) finger, so that could make it difficult to throw. In the next couple of days he should be OK. I may use him to pinch run, but I'm not going to use him to pinch bunt, that's for damn sure."

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2012

At press time, the Reds hadn't paired Cozart with a veteran caddy to compete for the starting job as they did the previous two years with Orlando Cabrera and Edgar Renteria, though the threat of Ryan Theriot still loomed. After starving for offense from the position between Paul Janish and Renteria in 2011, the Reds are crossing their fingers that Cozart is the answer. While Cozart held his own in his brief trial before an elbow injury ended his season, he didn't draw a walk in his 37 plate appearances. His minor league numbers suggest he's not a terribly patient hitter, either. In short, while he'll outproduce what the Reds got from the position last year, Cozart also has a limited offensive ceiling.

2011

The Reds are likely to start Paul Janish at shortstop this season and not bring in a veteran caretaker for the job, as they did last year with Orlando Cabrera. That means a utility job will be open for the Reds, and Cozart could win that job, as the better defender at short between he and Chris Valaika. Unfortunately, Cozart's bat isn't really ready after a campaign at Triple-A Louisville where he posted a measly .310 OBP. He has some power, but there's not much upside here.
