Probably not. Everyone on Earth should like Bray more than Majewski, but I tried to make my list less subjective by considering how many options a player has left. I don't think it's realistic for the Reds to have so many pitchers at AAA.

I'd rather the Reds just release him. He has no value as a pitcher right now. Also, releasing him strengthens their grievance against the Nats IMO.

Here is Pennial. Crosby was my error. I missed Bolivar.

I'm not finding David Lutz, Gregarious, Gianchou, or Schiavini but I also don't find them released. I saw Gregarious mentioned in another thread so I assume I missed him. I vaguely remember Gianchou but don't know if he's around.

Donald (my bad) Lutz is a German (and therefore my favorite Reds prospect) and was signed out of the European baseball academy. http://www.redszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62227

Mariekson Gregorius was signed out of Netherlands Antilles. http://www.redszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61673

Mauro Schiavoni is an Italian who played Dominican ball for the Reds in 2007. He also played in the European Baseball Academy. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releas...=.jsp&c_id=mlb

Jamie Gianchou is an Australian who projects as a third baseman. He signed a record signing bonus for an Australian ($300,000 or so), so the Reds really like him.
