Looks like Cueto and Perez back to AA

[Kc61]

I think Bailey and Belisle going to Louisville is a factor. One thing I've thought about is that Cueto is throwing a career high in innings. Maybe it's not so much of a big deal if he throws three-inning outings in AA as opposed to AAA. Or maybe they sent Cueto down to help Chattanooga for the stretch run and get the Lookouts into the playoffs.

This sounds right to me. Three weeks left in minor league season, they probably want him to go through the AA stretch drive and maybe playoffs. Not that big a deal, but hopefully he starts next year at AAA and not lower.

I like the Perez part, he seems to be progressing nicely this year after recovering from surgery. Maybe he's being groomed to be our 3rd catcher in September again?

As far as Cueto, I don't like the move. He has shown that AA is too low for him, and AAA is the right challenge. Maybe they've seen something that I can't see in statistics, but I just don't get this move.

I think you are right on Perez being a September callup. As for Cueto. I think this may be Krivsky trying to use the one more level speach again. If he finishes the year at AA then Krivsky is giving him as much of a shot at making the team in the Spring as he did Bailey in this Spring training.

Per C. Trent

Here's the explanation on Cueto:

He was sent to Double-A Chattanooga. I was told he had to be on their roster by today in order to be eligible to pitch in their playoffs should they make it.

Looks like the Reds are grooming the pitchers to be winners. Thats a step.
