There is zero chance LeCure goes to Louisville. Quit even bringing it up.
The main guys on the bubble are Simon and Ondrusek. Even with Ondrusek signing a 2-year deal, he's only making $900K this year and has options remaining. The Reds could stash him in Louisville no problem.
Also, Simon is owed about $900K this year. No options remaining, so the Reds would lose him if they DFA'd him, but I'm sure they'd be willing to eat that very small contract if they thought he wasn't the best choice for the 25-man roster.
LeCure has proven himself. He's a lock.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Not sure how it works out with guys still in arbitration, but the Reds did just sign him to a 1 year deal. I know there is a rule that a newly signed player cannot be dealt until June 15th without consent from the player. So he in effect has a no trade claus until the 15th and that can be a factor. Yet, and I mentioned, not sure how that rule works out with guys still in arbitration years. So I could be wrong if that rule becomes null with players still in arbitration.

You mark Brandon Lyon off the list. MLBTR is reporting he is close to a deal with the Mets.
This is a solid argument, no doubt.
I expect Masset to spend most (if not) all of 2013 on the DL
If Parra is effective in spring training and everyone is healthy, I could see one of Simon/Arrendondo/Ondrusek traded.
I guess I remember last spring when three of our bullpenners were hurt. Thankfully Walt was able to get Simon and Hoover, but we can't count on that luck.
I guess I don't mind having extra bodies (esp since I am assuming Masset is toast). Even if that means Hoover and/or LeCure begin the year in AAA.

Orioles Designate Trayvon Robinson For Assignment
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [February 8 at 1:05pm CST]
The Orioles announced that they designated outfielder Trayvon Robinson for assignment. The move creates roster space for right-hander Todd Redmond, who was claimed off of waivers from the Reds.
The Orioles acquired Robinson from Seattle for Robert Andino this past November. Robinson appeared in 46 games for the Mariners in 2012, posting a .221/.294/.324 batting line in 164 plate appearances as a left fielder. The 25-year-old was initially acquired by the Mariners in the three-team trade with the Red Sox and Dodgers that sent Erik Bedard to Boston.
So basically we got no value for the awesome Janish
Great job Walt, you're ruining our franchise.
