Like I said, I will be around for you to say "I told you so" should Maloney become the exception.

The Reds have had Harang, Arroyo, Cueto, Bailey, Volquez and Owings all year in the rotation this season. They didn't have room for Maloney most of the year. Last year it was Harang, Arroyo, Cueto, Volquez and then a mix of other guys who had 'need' before Maloney because of options. I won't be around to say I told you so though.
