He's not a K an inning guy, he's been eminently hittable in his career, I just don't see why they hold a candle for him in that role. I would rather see Herrera be the 12th guy on the staff than Masset.

4-3 Reds heading to the bottom of the 9th inning.
Top of 9
Gomes K's
Ward K's (now looking up a Mendoza line)
Janish retired
4-3 going to bottom of 9th in beautiful Dunedin Stadium (sarcasm)

Yep, in more innings and against actual real-life competition.
Plus, we're still far removed from opening day. What if Masset's next 10 innings are lights out and Homer and Micah struggle? Shouldn't that trump the first 10 innings?
It's a few innings in spring training, people. Get a grip.
Trust me..... Micah is the guy barring a total collpase or injury, with Bailey going to AAA.
But Roenicke or Herrera make no sense as long men, and you want Rameriez in AAA as a starter.
You can send down those guys and not lose them. You send down Masset you've lost him forever. Jocketty liked this guy enough to trade for him, and he pitched well for us in regular season.
He's the long guy.

Masset BABIP:
2007 (White Sox): .362
2008 (White Sox): .364
2008 (Reds): .265
One of those things is not like the others. And I would submit that the one in Cincy is because he had half the innings as the other major league outings. Sample size, don't you know.

I didn't realize he had no options....that makes sense for a roster spot barring a trade.
While one shouldn't jump to conclusions based on a slow start to the spring....the guy is turning 27 in May, and outside of those 17 innings last year, hasn't done anything in his minor league career to make one believe he can be a viable long term option. 31-49 minor league record with a 6.4 k rate and 1.46 whip...bleh.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
No, VR, no, those 17 innings were gold, baby, gold.
