Broxton
Marshall
Arredondo
LeCure
Simon
Parra

Hoover and Ondrusek at AAA Louisville
Masset on the DL

Leake as the 5th starter

This is the most likely scenario
What's the status of Ondrusek's option clock? Once a guy is in the big leagues so long, options or not, he needs to pass through waivers to be sent down to AAA. I think for Leake, this occurs sometime in mid April 2013. Not sure on Ondrusek.

I wouldn't be upset if the Reds had to put Ondrusek through waivers and somebody took him. I'd be happy about it actually.
