Zach Duke re-signed with the Reds, but has an opt out clause giving him free agency on Sept 2 if he so desires. What are the odds that the Reds make room for him on the 40-man to call him up in September?

Iffy. If the Reds decide to Add Lorenzon and Hamilton, both realistic possibilities, or Stephenson (longer shot) while activating Marshall from the 60 day DL, they would need to create a bunch of spots. Moving Cueto to the 60 day DL would be 1. DFAs of Lotzkar, Ravin and Freeman might be the others.
Villareal vs. Duke I'd guess. I'd make all those moves if it was my team.
Have to think Corky will be activated and Partch and Robinson will be back as well.

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!
I don't think anybody is projecting him to be a major cog in the bullpen or anything like that but it would not be completely surprising to see him called up. Between his college season and his time in the minors he has only thrown 40 innings or so.
Throw in the fact the minor league season ends 1st week of September and it certainly would not shock me if they bring him up for bullpen mop up duty just to get some innings under his belt.
I say put him in Left field a few times.

I haven't heard anything about Greg Reynolds for awhile. Is he still pitching for the Bats? Is he a call up possibility?
