Who will get called up first?
Bailey seems the obvious one but Thompson has dominated AA.
What is his scouting anyways and what has Bailey's fastball been like in AAA?

Belisle is next in line, which is as it should be. Thompson and Bailey both need more development time, whereas Belisle is as good as he's gonna get.
The Cincinnati Enquirer suggests Matt Belisle might make his first start of the season for the Reds Monday.
Belisle (forearm) allowed one run over seven innings Wednesday at Triple-A Louisville. "He looked good," general manager Wayne Krivsky said. "He pitched seven innings the night I saw. He went over 100 pitches. He threw all his pitches, threw them for strikes, got ahead of the hitters. He had a good outing."

Yeah, I guess I should have said after Belislie.
I was just wondering which of those two would be in the bigs first this season.

Bailey. No question IMO given their history...however, maybe Cueto making the team is proof that they've changed.

I hope monday is Fogg's scheduled start if Belisle is pitching that day.
Thompson will be in AA until the minor league all-star break and if he stays to form until then, he'll get the AAA call-up.
Homer still needs more AAA time, but he'll be on th big club again before Thompson.

I have only saw Thompson in person once but I really liked what I saw. However Bailey will be next after Belisle.
Who knows though Tom Shearn might be considerd ahead by Bailey in the front office. ( I hope not )
