-FayReds GM Wayne Krivsky said Matt Belisle will be pitching in place of Josh Fogg on Monday. No formal announcement has been made.
Good move, and one that needed to be made.

Doesn't Fogg have to go? I thought they said he couldn't pitch out of the bullpen
Good to hear. You know I think this rotation is actually pretty good.
It was OK before, at least 1-4. Now that Fogg's gone, they won't have that to blame any more. Now, let's score some runs.

Encouraging steps in the right direction.
Thom just said Fogg was going to the pen.
Well they do need a long man in the bullpen....Fogg= Clay Kirby 1975
Fogg might be able to add a couple innings to Volquez and Cueto starts when they're short innings. After their stuff Fogg might look confusing. I hope.
I'm very happy that Fogg was only given three starts. That's fewer than Dumatrait, even, and shows progress.
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.
Here is a thought. A DL Stint for Arroyo to rest his arm and give him a rehab outing or two to get his mechanics back? Maybe give Fogg another start or two and keep Coffey active. If Coffey can put a couple more outings like the last two together, he may draw some trade interest and giving Fogg a couple more starts is worth it if it can get Arroyo on track. Its also probably a good idea to keep Fogg around. Belisle has been great against minor leaguers, but its possible he could come up and struggle as well. I don't cut anyone loose who is capable of providing starts right now.

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!
Kirby relieved in 7 games in 1975, 19 starts.
I know....but Foggs pitching is almost Kirby 1975...1976 like.
I would still take Kirby but he had a way better team behind him.
Gotta feeling Weathers will be on the DL, which could be the move which opens the door for Belisle. Unless there are other moves.
Belisle showed some flashes of brilliance last year - and other flashes of being downright terrible. Let us hope he is getting his act together. Then again, he is an automatic improvement over Foggy nights.
