May 24, 200719 yr Should be a lot of fun to watch him get mashed for a few weeks... I've always thought he was the #1 or #2 minor league pitching prospect....Guys like Lincecum and Hughes have done well, why not Bailey?
May 24, 200719 yr Author I've always thought he was the #1 or #2 minor league pitching prospect....Guys like Lincecum and Hughes have done well, why not Bailey? Because rankings aren't day to day life. He's got great stuff but he's a bit wild still. With pro hitters in the box, the at bats get even longer. Now he's a 5 inning guy. Look at the pitch counts...
May 24, 200719 yr I've always thought he was the #1 or #2 minor league pitching prospect....Guys like Lincecum and Hughes have done well, why not Bailey? Exaclty my thoughts. At this point why not. I don't think it's going to ruin his career if he comes up and gets blasted. Look at Carmona last year and what he is doing now.

Look at the pitch counts... What does it hurt? He may struggle for a little while up here, but so what. He can't do any worse than Loshe, Milton, etc....
May 24, 200719 yr Did he just say a Grand slam could be a rally killer??? :lol: I don't think thats exactly how he wanted it to come out but I know what he meant. There is 2 outs anyways so thats stupid.
May 24, 200719 yr Author What does it hurt? He may struggle for a little while up here, but so what. He can't do any worse than Loshe, Milton, etc.... Who cares what needs replaced. He's not ready. Period. Bringing him up to get beat around is a bad idea. He's not going to put them in contention. He's not going to make them better. What's the use???
May 24, 200719 yr My Reds games pet peeve: don't wear Bengals gear. Just saw someone with a Bengals had turned inside out...don't do it! Let's go Dunner drive some in here!
May 24, 200719 yr Those last 2 bombs by Coffey starting to look a little more important now. :madman: :madman:
