July 23, 201313 yr Please! If Chapman were the #3 starter on the team, would everyone be as open to trading him?
July 23, 201313 yr If Chapman were the #3 starter on the team, would everyone be as open to trading him? If we still had the same starters in our system that have been discussed in this thread and if he would command the same in return, yes.
July 23, 201313 yr If Chapman were the #3 starter on the team, would everyone be as open to trading him? Bailey is and we are.
July 23, 201313 yr Homer was projected to be the #3 guy this year, and it seems like people here are willing to deal him.
July 23, 201313 yr Fair enough. I don't agree with dealing Bailey, unless it becomes obvious the Reds can't afford him. I believe the Reds wasted an opportunity to develop a #1 starter with how they handled Chapman.

I believe the Reds wasted an opportunity to develop a #1 starter with how they handled Chapman. I guess that argument will never be at an endpoint. And I understand your position. However, I think he's been a very significant closer. Most importantly, he wanted to close and that may have been a major issue if he had trouble from the rotation. But I totally understand your point.
July 23, 201313 yr At season's start it would have been Cueto, Latos, Bailey, Arroyo, Leake. Every discussion we had on this board talked about Leake as the 5th starter. Frankly, Cingrani has to be in the top 5 if we are talking now.
July 23, 201313 yr Author This season it has to be: 1) Leake 2) Latos 3) Cueto 4) Arroyo 5) Bailey How can Cueto be 3 when he has only pitched a quarter of the season.
July 23, 201313 yr How can Cueto be 3 when he has only pitched a quarter of the season. I'm simply saying when he was out there, he was very effective. I think an argument can be made (and a good one) that Bailey has been the least effective starting pitcher of the 6 this season.

Frankly, Cingrani has to be in the top 5 if we are talking now. Don't disagree. However right now, I'd say he's probably been the least effective of all those you mentioned this season.
