[RED VAN HOT]

Based on what the organizational approach seems to be, it will be Billings. The Reds have been very cautious with their young, high upside arms. There is less pressure in the rookie leagues, greater opportunity to work mechanics and secondary pitches, and more opportunity to limit the number of pitches due to the greater number of pitchers on the roster enabling them to spread the work load. It is a welcomed improvement over earlier Reds organizations which tended to rush pitchers and lose potentially good talent.
