And this will come true right away, as I'm thinking the Reds will start Kainer at Billings. Chances are Kainer will dominate the Pioneer League much the way major-college bats like Danny Dorn, Chris Valaika, and Justin Turner did, but waiting for short-season ball also gives him some time to get his strength back.
