March 14, 200818 yr Affeldt looks like he has just blown his chance at making the rotation, getting rocked tonight. All the promised him was a chance to start and he got it. True. I think Cueto has certainly passed him and Bailey, and if Volquez is able to duplicate his effort that he had against the Yanks, then he'd likely do the same. Will be interesting to see if DB/WK decide to use Cueto at the #3, or if they'll still put Belisle in that spot just because he's a veteran.

March 16, 200818 yr Volquez today. 5 innings, 0 ER 0 R 1 bb 3 h 6 K's. He might of just made the squad today.
March 16, 200818 yr ^ He is a lock at this point. Either in the pen or the Rotation after this performance today I am inclined to say rotation.
March 16, 200818 yr My Starting 5 as of today: Harang Arroyo Cueto Volquez Fogg Bailey keeps showing us why he still isn't ready, Cueto and Volqeuz have shown on back to back starts that they are ready to compete on the big league level.

If I were Dusty that would be mine as well. As a Reds fan I would feel great with that rotation, and I honestly think the Reds can win the NL Central with that rotation.
March 16, 200818 yr Author If I were Dusty that would be mine as well. As a Reds fan I would feel great with that rotation, and I honestly think the Reds can win the NL Central with that rotation. I can tell you right now that if that ends up being their rotation, there aren't many clubs that have a number 5 better than Fogg... And IF Volquez is what we think he is he may be the best #4 starter in the NL also...
March 16, 200818 yr Volques reminds me a little of Mario Soto. Guy is looking like he might be the real deal. So does Belisle go back to pen?
