I think Iglesias at this point is up in the air. Stephenson may never reach majors he may be huge bust time will tell. Moscot will be a big league starter IMO. |

Desclafani can't get through a line-up twice before he's tagged. 5.88 ERA in May. I thing he'd be a decent bullpen arm. So do the pundits who observe and write about baseball for a living.

The Red's have made a habit of drafting pitchers high who were relievers in college/HS and trying to turn them into starters. Why? Because they think their arms have less miles on them? Or, because they think they can sign them for less?

He got torched against SanFran. The start before he went 7 innings and the start after he went 6. Only 4 runs total in those two starts. Not enough evidence yet that says he can't be a starter. |

I'll start believing when he starts dealing. |

I know that choosing players to draft can be a crap shoot, but maybe the Reds should indulge in deeper thought. |

I think drafting college relievers with an eye towards moving them into the rotation becomes less defensible the earlier the pick. I wasn't wild about Nick Howard in the first round last year. |

I'll start believing when he starts dealing. 3.46 I'll start believing he's destined for relief when he's over 4.50 for the season. |

I'll start believing when he starts dealing. 3.46 I'll start believing he's destined for relief when he's over 4.50 for the season. 5.88 in May means he's regressing, not progressing. 3.46 is nice overall to this point, but that includes May's 1.04. I've watched him. He can't get through the opposition's lineup twice before they start to torch him now. He may be a decent bullpen arm after all. |
