Thats where I think he belongs and could be more effective with the Reds. He and Pelland as starter were fringe orginaztional players, but I really like their power arms out of the pen. The Reds really need to get a guy or two who have just sick offspeed stuff that aren't power arms to change it up. I'd love to develope a knuckleballer.

Fisher had a solid year as a starter last year overall but I think your right that as a relief pticher he has a way better shot at makign it with the Reds. His stuff is above average for a relief pitcher IMO

I had to do a doubletake here because it seems to me that last year at this time we were lamenting the fact that all our pitchers were "soft tossers" except Harang and we had not developed any pitchers who could throw over 90 mph except Homer Bailey. I like lamenting a lack of offspeed pitchers a lot better  |

I like lamenting a lack of offspeed pitchers a lot better No doubt I like this problem much much much better, but you need both kinds at all times, and everybody I see coming up that looks legit are all power arms. I want a knuckleballer damnit  |

Well I have been beggin for him to be moved to a RP ever since I disagreed with Star last year.
I think Carlos is a notch below Roenecki out the pen but he will make the show now.
I like being able to forecast a prospect, this was a new feelin. This how you feel when your right Star, Duke?

I remember the conversation well and you told me he would need moved into the pen. At the time I held out hope he could stay in rotation but you are right
oh and it feels good doesnt it
