Ok, didn't really want to start a new thread for this (as I don't think there is one out there already, but there might be) but does anyone want to take a guess at the over/under as to when Cingrani will hit the big leagues this year?
I am saying by May 30th.
I will take the over on your date. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it were slightly sooner, but I expect it to be a little later.
I'm just joking around guys. :laugh: Please do not be offended anyone, that was just a classic RZ debate. It's why I love this place.Quote:
Cingrani has improved his slider a bit this year
Cingrani will be up as soon as a member of the Reds starting rotation goes on the DL or at the end of Louisville's season, whichever comes first. It could be next week, or it could be September, it all depends on the health of the major league rotation.
I knew someone would bring it up. So I went out to the writer of the article, JJ Cooper, and we had this conversation via twitter:
Me to JJ: Saw two different "sliders last year". Both had downward action, the loopy and harder ones, but both were 77-82. No sweep. Cingrani's breaking ball this year. 71-76 this year, sweeps across the zone as well. Didn't see that last year. Did you?
JJ to Me: Was talking about that in office. Reds official told me yesterday they/Cingrani think it's same slider to me it looks like cb. adds to what several scouts have said to me/others in office that it's often best to just call it a breaking ball.
Surprised no mention of Robert Stephenson in the team photo.
Interesting that Daniel Norris, a guy I was admittedly high on in the '11 draft, gets mention in the "Not-So-Hot" category.
Reliever? RELIEVER?? Amazing. What are they thinking? Don't they realize he has TOR potential? The only reason the Reds haven't traded him for Stanton is cuz they know they'd be overpaying for an outfielder.Quote:
Cingrani has improved his slider a bit this year, and more and more it’s looking like he could be a big league starter, although his fallback position as a power reliever is an even safer bet.
