The Cincinnati Reds have an opening at third base, but there are no immediate plans to call up top prospect Nick Senzel.

The organization feels Senzel needs more time to develop in the minor leagues.

"The most important thing is to make sure we're all convinced that he is ready to be here and playing productively," Dick Williams said. "A lot goes into that. It's just making sure his confidence is in the right place and the approach we're seeing is right and he is doing it consistently. Bringing a guy like that up, you want him to come and stay. You want it to be more dictated by his performance and confidence as opposed to being dictated by the situation here."

Senzel is batting .233/.283/.349 with one home run and one RBI in 10 games for Triple-A Louisville.
