Gotta be Maloney.
No other options?
sink or swim time for Carlos. Third year up at least. No reason to keep carrying him on the 40 man if he can't hack it.Quote:

I think Carlos will still end-up as a decent middle relief option in the major leagues for a few seasons, but time is running out in Cincy.Quote:

I'm guessing that Arredondo will be the first guy back.Quote:

Maybe it's just me reading too much into it... :dunno:
Standing O. I'm still not sure if Carlos Fisher is an MLB-caliber pitcher (although I think he is). But I am sure that Matt Maloney is not.
I'm not sure that Maloney is not a major leaguer, but I do think his max is as a fringe guy to provide innings at the back of a rotation when necessary. I see him having a career along the lines of Dustin Mosely. 6 or 7 years ago that would have made him the Red's ace, but now there are plenty of better internal options and younger guys who probably pass him by before the end of the year. He may still be a token arm to throw into a deal for something. I hope he gets in a groove at AAA and is pitching well as the dealine approaches.Quote:

To bring back Arredondo, Bailey, Cueto, Francisco, Rolen, or Lewis, they would only need to demote someone from the 25-man roster.
