Wow, star. You've really changed opinions on Bailey coming up. I'm glad to hear it.
I'm not saying Belisle doesn't deserve another shot....but we've got better options...

I agree with these moves. Unfortunately, that doesn't do anything to solve how pathetic they've looked at the plate.
Send Dunn to Toronto for McGowan and bring up Bruce...lol

Send Dunn to Toronto for McGowan and bring up Bruce...lol Given that they need a DH, and that last year their pitching staff was their strength and the offense wasn't so good, they might just do that deal. We could then ship out Hatte and Arroyo for prospects. Bring up Bailey, and have a rotation of Harang, Cueto, VolKz, Bailey, and McGowan. That'd be nice. Probably a pipe dream, though. |

Toronto isn't going to give up McGowan for a 3/4 of a season of Dunn. |

Bray yes, but i'd still leave Bailey in AAA at least 4 or 5 more starts to work on command and his new slider.

Belisle did not look good tonight and Fogg in te pen is a joke. Bring up the two young kids soon ! Belisle looked as good as Homer in AAA. Why do you think Homer is suddenly any more ready to pitch in the major leagues than Belisle was? "The Cowboy" was saying last night that Belisle has stuff and control of his stuff, but he can't mentally handle the pressure of the majors yet (maybe he never will be able to do it). Leave Homer alone! He is too young to face the kind of pressure that was put on him last year and will be put on him again. Let the Reds get some offense before you expect him to pitch up here. I see Volquez and Cueto losing it pretty soon. They are too young to bear the brunt of the team's ability to win games. Pitching is no more important than offense and Reds fans need to learn that. When you don't have offense, defense also becomes more important. I agree with bringing up Bray. He's older, he had some success in the majors, and he would not be playing a crucial role with a lot of pressure. |
