Re: Last Cuts -- updated 3/31
Pena survives! I wanted Cruz to make the team, but Wily Mo is the one that can't get away.
Re: Last Cuts -- updated 3/31
Okay, so who is the lefty OF/PH off the bench?
Re: Last Cuts -- updated 3/31
Hope for Haynes to lay a stink bomb on the mound today.

I can't ever recall wishing for a Reds pitcher to get shelled, but today I will be.
Re: Last Cuts -- updated 3/31
Both Valentin and Olmedo should still be sent down, mind you. Especially Olmedo.
If Valentin is kept as the first base backup, that's a loss for offense (Cruz) in the name of "versatility"... how many clubs still bother with three catchers these days, especially when your other two guys are 100%?
Re: Last Cuts -- updated 3/31
One extra pitcher left. Would have to think Riedling trade could happen, or Van Poppel or Reith to go to AAA. Big surprise to me is that Olmedo made team over Hummel. Guess somebody wants some defense on the team. Bench is Valentin, Olmedo, Pena, Castro and Miller.

Bench is Valentin, Olmedo, Pena, Castro and Miller.

One guy that can hit. Great. Just great.

Re: Last Cuts -- updated 3/31
Reds set up roster as if Larue (or possibly Miller) will be traded soon.
Re: Last Cuts -- updated 3/31
You might be right princeton, though I think Miley just sent a clear message that he values position flexibility/pinch bunting above bolstering the hitting.
A glaring fault, IMO.
