I think Mike Maloney can pitch on the major League level. I'm not sure about Jordan Smith . I know Maloney's considered a starter, but I think I'd have liked to have seen him sent to the bullpen and someone else sent down.

Yes.
A big league team in the heat of a pennant race is not the place to see if a guy can pitch out of the pen. If you're going to try that experimient, do it in AAA and bring him back up if it works.
Maybe. But I can see a situation where Wood and Maloney are down in Louisville, and Smith, Brey, Owens and Ondrusek are in Cincinnati. That would not make me happy.
Are these new players?Quote:

Yes, I would keep him starting games and he will only be doing that in AAA at the moment.
He gives us security if a SP goes down and who knows what the situation will be with Harang and Arroyo next season.
I never could spell, and now I can't type either.Quote:

Since when is Mike bad typing or misspelling of Matt?Quote:

On one hand, I like having starters with major league experience in triple A. On the other hand, I don't think it's fair to keep a guy who is ready for the big leagues in triple A for his career. Maloney could be a serviceable #4 or #5 starter in the Bigs for someone. He has nothing left to prove in triple A.
I look for him to be dealt in the off season or at the deadline. Our 40-man roster is gonna be logjammed this off season with guys moving up. Running out of room for some of these guys.
