April 15, 200917 yr Everyone's expectations were unrealistically high. Give him time - he's still only 22 years old (23, at the max). Even if the expectations were only "high" and not "unrealistically high", he's still be a big disapointment. He should be further along than what he is at this point and, frankly, just never seems to make much progress.

April 15, 200917 yr How much longer before you lose the stupid donkey? (the stupid donkey in the avatar, not Adam Dunn) Couple more weeks.
April 15, 200917 yr He needs a change of scenery. I say bring him up for 2 starts. If he makes 2 bad starts, send him back down. If he still does bad in AAA, I say maybe try to trade him.

April 15, 200917 yr Who are you going to send down? Alternatively, who are you going to trade him for?
April 16, 200917 yr Alternatively, who are you going to trade him for? Its a given you need 6 starters. 5 in the bigs and one waiting in the wings to get through a season. But I could see them dealing him still somewhat a prospect for another prospect. For whatever the reason may be he is not developing in the Reds organization maybe another pitching coach can revive him. I still think they wait till after this year then you gotta really look at things.
