September 19, 201510 yr As I mentioned in another thread, the Reds have a ton of young arms available to them for next year's rotation. Who do you think will be the starters come Opening Day in 2016? (I'll include as many as I can think of off the top of my head, but if there's someone else that I missed, feel free to include them.) Amir Garrett Anthony Desclafani Brandon Finnegan Collin Balester David Holmberg John Lamb John Moscot Josh Smith Keyvius Sampson Michael Lorenzen Raesel Iglasias Robert Stephenson Tony Cingrani The infamous PTBNL (obtained via free agency or trade) (I didn't include Homer in the list, because I was under the impression he wouldn't be ready for Opening Day.)
September 19, 201510 yr Cody Reed is another name. He's the best SP prospect in the organization right now IMO behind only Stephenson.
September 19, 201510 yr Raesel Iglasias Anthony Desclafani Homer Bailey These 3 are no doubters. I would then go with: Finnegan Lorenzon Cingrani, Smith, Sampson, Balester need to go to the pen. Garrett, Stephenson, Moscott, Lamb need to be at Triple A ready to come up. Holmberg does not have a future with us unless he takes over for Manny Parra. UGH!

Which all equals a 4th place finish at best, thank God for the Brewers. The Reds future looks bleak at best, without any top notch arms coming up anytime soon, which is disappointing. The 2016 Reds season mantra should be, forget about it. :puke
September 21, 201510 yr Homer Bailey Stephenson Iglesias Descalfani Finnegan Those 5 would be my starting rotation. That is not what worry's me. The worry for me is do we have the kahunna's to bring the rest to the pen and the hell with Triple A. They need to go against Major league hitters, Lamb, Cingranni, Chapman (give you 3 left handers in the pen) Holmberg can pitch for my softball team Lorenzen, Sampson, Smith, Ballester, Moscot, Reed, to the pen, I still think we can package (2) of these and get a good outfielder,
September 22, 201510 yr I agree with forgetting about Triple A. Get the young guys up here and see what they can do. I would also get Winker up here as well.
September 22, 201510 yr Who manages the rotation is a better question? Can the Reds steal Dusty from Miami lol?
