I just hope that when Leake struggles, they don't do a back and forth to Triple A situation.

 

Let the kid pitch and learn, give away Harang for a box of peanuts if you have to.

 

You have to figure if everyone can continue to develop and Voltron is able to come back, they have a solid, young rotation to build around.

The fact that the Reds pitching is not very good....:idunno:

 

Cueto was terrible in Spring, Leake has never thrown an inning, and Bailey is completely unpredictable.

 

I'd say Arroyo is their best pitcher, which tells just how bad they are, then either Harang or Cueto.

 

You hangin out with malachicrunch or what?

 

Harang is not the #1. Arroyo was brilliant in the 2nd half last year. I think Homer Bailey & Cueto will both have very good years.

:lol: I would have to be a Reds fan for that to be true.

 

I just find it funny that every year at this time you all are so giddy for the "potential" the Reds have, only to be utterly disappointed by mid-to-late July.

 

I do agree thought that Arroyo is clearly the team's #1 guy.

There is a ton of young talent on the roster. They're probably a year away from actually competing, but I don't think the Central is that good (outside of the Cards).

More so than in the past, sure. You're still relying heavily on very unproven talents like Bruce, Stubbs, Bailey, Leake, Cueto, etc., though.

And you also bank on Rolen playing more than 120 games, he has average around 125 the last four years. If he is able to do that, that still means he will miss over a month this year.

 

Of course, I would take him semi-healthy over E5

That should be the everyday lineup, switch up left field now and then depending on who they are facing, but that's it. Dusty needs to stick with it.

I'm excited to watch the game in HD tonight. I have been debating whether or not to actually go to the game, but have decided against it (most likely).

 

I like the lineup but must admit that I'm a bit confused. Why would Dickerson start against Carpenter, but not Wainwright?
