I definitely think Logan Parker is a prospect to watch. I think he should be called up to AA before too much longer.

He probably needs to make a stop in A+ Sarasota first....

Point being, is that there's never a rush to move a guy up a level as there are unending things to learn and 250 at-bats or 70 innings pitched of good results does not a promotion demand. The physical and mental maturity is immense in itself, yet alone learning well at least 3 pitches for a pitcher.

Re: 8/1/2007 Minor League Updates (Cueto pitching in AAA)
Anyone read on the Enquire or post or mlb.com for the REDS where someone said that "Cantu was a "natural" 2nd baseman"?
That's a scary thought. If that person thinks that playing 2nd base in that fashion is "natural", then I wonder what he has to see before he thinks that someone is "unnatural" at that position.

Re: 8/1/2007 Minor League Updates (Cueto pitching in AAA)
I agree. Though the REDS will be in need of a right-handed power bat on their bench next year as most of their starting power will be left-handed, I'd like Cantu to spend the rest of this year and the first half of next year working with minor league coaches on his infield defense, wherever that may be. As bad as he is at 2nd and 3rd, he must be pretty bad at 1st, too.

Looks like Cueto is sailing right by Bailey on the prospect list
![]() He is pretty up some impressive K/BB rates, especially for a 21 year old.

The thing Cueto has on Bailey is his changeup has really gotten good and he locates it for strikes. His overall pure stuff isn't quite as good. While I am not calling Cueto a young Oswalt, his athletic ability and mechanics definitely give him a chance to start. Though I guess a high leveraged arm out of the pen may eventually be his calling. Tough to call on a smaller pitchers. The thing Cueto needs to polish up is his slider. Not the most consistant pitch looking at the footage. For the Reds luck, they need a sequel called "Bailey Strikes Back" next year :.
