March 26, 200818 yr Author Spring numbers... 1-3 5.21 ERA 6 starts 19 innings, 24 hits, 12 runs, 11 earned, 16 walks, 11 Ks.
March 26, 200818 yr No surprise, you just hope he can get his stuff together and contribute to the team before the end of the year.
March 26, 200818 yr Hopefully he puts it together quickly, Once Bailey comes up, the reds should have the starting 5 in tack for the next 5 or 6 years.
March 26, 200818 yr People need to remember that he is a young pitcher. This is the first time, presumably, when he just can't get by on his arm. He needs to learn the art of pitching. You can go down a list of who's who in the annals of the game and see that many a great pitcher struggled at the beginning of his career. Many far worse than Bailey.

A great rookie year and he looked like a washed up A ball pitcher last year. Constant adjustment.
March 26, 200818 yr Personally, I'm glad to see Bailey in AAA. No reason to rush things. Homer Bailey still has a live arm and great potential. Let him work through things and continue to improve in Louisville. His time will come.
March 26, 200818 yr I heard somebody saying that he doesn't want to listen to anyone's advice. Plus he doesn't trust all his pitches. Sounds like he has some growing up to do.
March 27, 200818 yr The Reds made the right move. I hope Bailey goes down with a good attitude, and gets his problems ironed out.
March 27, 200818 yr Author This troubles me much more than any ERA #'s. ...because those numbers lead to a lofty ERA...
