I hope. It's about time we see him in the rotation this year. He has earned it to this point.
Who will drop from the rotation first?

[Ironman92]

Can't afford to start him. He's pivotal in the 7th or 8th innings OR if the game goes to the 15th.

[RedsFan_26]

This ain't happenin, it can't just happen all suddenly like this..

Any articles or support towards this?

I thought we got Valdez for the 15th.

[Who Dey Time]

IMO one of these things needs to happen for that to be true....

1) An injury (let's hope not)

2) A decision to move Bailey (not happening soon)

3) Masset returns (not happening soon)

I think it will be a little while longer until Masset returns. He was shut down just a couple days ago. Aroldis will stay in the pen for all of 2012 IMO. It's not what I would want I just see it happening that way

Reds' trainer speak - He feel goods it's just a little tender = minimum 60 days.

If they say elbow soreness it means Tommy John. They pretty much call you a dumb***. And lie to your face. I don't even know what the benifit of it is. Can someone inform me?

I would be shocked if we see Masset at all this year, it just isn't getting better and the odds of him getting to 100% and performing this season I would think are not very good. I think we need to get Hoover going some more and look at getting him up here sooner then later.

So now we are just starting threads about things we want to happen but have now idea about? lame

Chapman will be on an inning limit this year, we would be better off if he doesn't start until June. Then the Reds won't have to shut him down in August.

+1.
Chapman will join the rotation in late May or early June. And I much prefer it that way. The Nats will shut Strasburg down due to innings in August or early September when they are battling for the division or wild card. The Reds will have Chapman going strong in the rotation during late August and September.

What leads u to think late May or early June when Masset won't be back till way past then if at all...
