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.

The next position player up should be Brian O'grady. The next bullpen piece just might be Jackson Stephens.
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!

Zach Dook needs to be replaced with Reed.
How does RZ feel about Duke now? A lot of his peripherals still look bad, but he's definitely improved after a disastrous start.
FTR, I like Bowman and I want Reed on the staff when he's ready, but has anyone changed their opinion on Duke going forward?
Just curious.
I'm a little drunk and don't really want to look up his splits, but he's clearly been better recently.
Is it good enough?
I say keep Bowman while he's pitching well.
I also have zero confidence in Wandy, his 2017 seems to be a mirage.
Derek Johnson has apparently been a difference maker for several of our pitchers. I'd have hoped Wandy would be one to benefit, but he hasn't.
(Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

The Reds will need a better LHP option behind Amir if they're gonna make a run but I can live with Duke for the time being, he's been okay since April ended. I absolutely feel more comfortable with him than Wandy, who I do not wish to see pitching for the Reds again in any capacity.
Bowman was slept on, he was pretty solid for STL until he got injured last year. He's clearly not THIS good, but he's generally a perfectly fine middle reliever.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Bell seems to like his 3 lefty reliever options, so I suspect when Reed is back, Bowman goes back down. He doesn't get much use anyway.
