Yeah sending down EE has a lot to do with why the Reds are struggling this year. EE could stay up or go down, it's not going to make any difference either way on this season. It's pitching, and we don't have any in the pen.
Everybody was calling for Todd Coffey to be made the closer last year. And if Narron hadn't given him a shot to be the closer people would still using it as another example of how Narron favors vets over young guys. At the time it was a good decision. Coffey was pitching lights out at the time, and to use that now as an example of a poor "in-season" move is dumb or even "uncalled for", IMO.
