5th Starter

Why is it that some on the GT want to get rid of Belisle but keep Fogg in the bullpen?

I would change my vote at this point. Lehr is now headed overseas, and Matt Maloney is the best available choice. Maloney has had an impressive month of May.

Belisle is terrible, just terrible. Send him to AAA and throw him in on the next trade. If no one wants him by the end of the year release him.
Same with Fogg.

I would prefer someone from AAA who has any chance to be ok now and better in the future. Give Maloney a shot ( or Bailey when he starts pitching better ).

20% of ORG posters including two posters who I think are very knowledgable wanted the Reds to give Lehr a shot. Instead they sold his contract and ran Belisle out there again.

My vote is for Maloney, but since he is not an option, I went with Fogg. No way I throw Bailey out there and Belisle isn't the answer. I think he could be effective in the pen, but not out of the rotation. Fogg isn't good either, but I think he's a better option than Belisle is.

My original vote was for Affeldt because I believe this rotation needs a lefty. Maloney would satisfy that requirement while not diminishing the bullpen. I think it's a much better option than leaving Belisle in to give away games...at least the bullpen might get into the game with a lead to preserve.
