Could the AAA Pen be better than the Reds?

[The Duke]

If Bray and Burton both start out in AAA, i really think that the Reds AAA bullpen could be better than the reds actual bullpen, at the very least in terms of talent.

Potential MLB Pen:
LR: Matt Belisle
MR: Jeremy Affeldt
MR: Kent Mercker
MR: Mike Stanton
MR: Todd Coffey
SU: David Weathers
CL: Francisco Cordero

Potential AAA Pen:
LR: Ramon Ramierez
MR: Tyler Pelland
MR: Pedro Viola
MR: Gary Majewski
MR: Bill Bray
SU: Jared Burton
CL: Josh Roencike

The AAA pen might give a little bit at closer, but every other spot you can argue that the AAA pen is jsut as good if not better. here is the pen I would have for the Reds to start the year:

LR: Matt Belisle
MR: Kent Mercker
MR: Bill Bray
MR: Jeremy Affeldt
MR: Jared Burton
SU: David Weathers
CL: Francisco Cordero

With Coffey being the first guy up from AAA if someone struggles.

If Jared Burton starts the season in AAA, I just might freak.

Coffey has been having a good Spring right? Maybe losing all that weight helped. I just wish he wouldn't sprint in from the BP. Why waste the energy?

If Coffey can look like 2006 Coffey again then the Reds could be in good shape. Albeit he still needs to stop sprinting to the damn mound. Why would you wind yourslef before you start pitching? It's begging for your mechanics to get screwed up.
