At one point does Herrera have to be taken seriously? All he does is get hitters out. I know his stuff may not project for major success, but a sub 4.00 ERA in MLB would certainly be acceptable.

Always have to wonder about injuries to pitchers. Belise's back; Weathers hasn't really looked as good as last year. Or there's always a possibility of a Fogg deal with Lehr taking over as long man. (Not that I think the Reds should have a long man who basically pitches once every two weeks, but that's for another thread.)

He should be taken seriously right now. He is only 23 years old and 15 innings into his AAA career though, I don't mind him getting some seasoning for a while before getting a chance in the bigs. Let him show that the screwball still works the second and third times through the IL.
I guess its time for the yearly parade of career minor leaguers through Cincinnati to fill the fifth spot. I wish Homer was ready.

Justin Reed just homered to give the Dragons a 5-3 lead. It was a no doubter. Not sure who had the other runs/RBI as I just walked in and turned it on.
Daytons 2nd inning was nice, here is the recap:
* Brandon Waring flies out to center fielder Eric Eiland.
* Denis Phipps singles on a ground ball to center fielder Eric Eiland.
* Michael McKennon singles on a ground ball to right fielder Moises Sierra. Denis Phipps to 3rd.
* Devin Mesoraco walks. Michael McKennon to 2nd.
* Kevyn Feiner hit by pitch. Denis Phipps scores. Michael McKennon to 3rd. Devin Mesoraco to 2nd.
* Zachary Cozart grounds out to third baseman Kevin Ahrens. Michael McKennon scores.
* Justin Reed homers (5) on a fly ball to right field. Devin Mesoraco scores. Kevyn Feiner scores.
* Keltavious Jones walks.
* With Logan Parker batting, Keltavious Jones steals (9) 2nd base.
* Logan Parker strikes out swinging.
Devin Mesoraco draws his second walk in as many PA's.
Stubbs is 1-2 with his 16th steal. Heisey is 1-2. Louwsma is 1-2 and Rodriguez is 1-1. Sarasota is trailing 5-0 though.
