Can we just get the BP screen out there for the pitchers for the last week of ST?

Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Yikes. I think we need to bust out a protective bubble for our pitching staff during this last week of spring training.
Glad Bronson is all right.
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
Ahhh, but it it happened, think of the wonderful polar opposite irony of it... (Yes I know this is now a moot point, but I still wanted to mention it)
Last year an early spring training injury to the newest Red forced Chapman from the rotation to the bullpen.
This year, a late spring training injury to the most tenured Red could have forced him from the bullpen to the rotation.
The only way Bronson would miss a start would be if he had his hand amputated, and then he'd protest. After all, he has two hands.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.

I have had some favorite Reds' pitchers in my day. Jim O'Toole, Jim Maloney, Bob Purkey, Gary Nolan, Don Gullett, Jack Billingham, Mario Soto, Jose Rijo...and Bronson Arroyo is definitely in my top ten.
He may be the the only one who took the ball every day.
"I am your child from the future. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier." - Dylan Easton
You could make a convincing case that Arroyo will be the worst starter for the Reds this year. (I'd put my money on Leake)
But that gasp many of us had when we heard this shows the value of being able to pencil in 200 innings for our staff. A joy to have him on the club.
So no plant life was detected, John?

A starter could go down and Chapman's in the bullpen. Great strategy front office.
