Valaika is one of the Reds top prospects. You do not expose someone like that.
Valaika, like others, has a history of breaking in slowly to new levels. It's just development, he'll do better next year.
He won't be exposed and I doubt Watson or Valiquette will be exposed. The Reds will make room for all their high level prospects on the forty man roster.
