You were right that he wasn't getting a full work load.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
Interesting.
School's out. What did you expect?
Wonder if the old fox is planning on using him in the bullpen due to his or Krivs theories.
Boy the Reds can't get out of their own way with the roster.
Brantley speculating Volquez pitching in relief because he will be the 5th starter which woun't be needed the first couple weeks.
Not sure I buy that. Fogg or Belisle should be the 5th starter.
If Edinson Volquez isn't in the starting rotation then I fully convinced this is the dumbest organization in baseball.
If that's true, then Belisle or Fogg should be the ones being skipped.
Agreed.
Unless they want to keep his innings down.
They need to get the rotation in the order they want to pitch them. That probably involves a short outing and coming back on short rest to get them all pitching on the right day.
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 hope that's the case.
Burton's awful spring continues.

mth, I really hope you are right.
Because as sanguine as I have been about dealing Hamilton for Volquez, that will melt away if they drop Volquez into long relief.
Think about it. They had Arroyo and Harang pitching in AAA games on the same day as Volquez and Cueto on the big league team. They can't all stay on a 5 day pattern unless they plan on playing a couple DH each week followed by a couple off days. They have to do something to get them lined up.

I wonder if Volquez will be slated for long relief to start the season with Cueto, Belisle and Fogg in the rotation?
Meanwhile Jared Burton gives up for hits and three runs (two earned) in an inning of work (3Ks on the bright side). Why again is he considered a sure thing for the pen?
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Burton has options now, doesn't he?
