will arthur hold up?
He is on pace to pitch well over 70 innings. He hasn't pitched more than 60 in a season since 2002.
Can he stay healthy at the current pace?

Re: will arthur hold up?
The Reds are dead in the water if he can't.
Right now, he's the only thing holding that "bullpen" together.

Re: will arthur hold up?
I agree. It's a wonder that The Reds have been able to win this many games with a bullpen that so consistently tries, and often succeeds at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Something has to be done. You can't trot out 7.00 ERA guy after 7.00 ERA guy from the bullpen and win a division. Not only that, but in the playoffs... He who has the deepest bullpen is king.

Re: will arthur hold up?
If I were a betting man, I'd say he either gets injured or loses effectiveness in a serious way.

Re: will arthur hold up?
There are a lot of bullpen guys around this league available. A lot of solid guys. Walt will get something done, I'd have to think. This is an easy area to improve the team. Easier to get then a top tier bat or a #1 or #2 starter this time of year.
You add an Octavio Dotel, a Kevin Gregg, and a Jerry Mejia (Mets) to Rhodes, Coco, Del Rosario and whoever deserves to stay that's there now, this looks like a different team.

He cannot hold up, at this rate. This is a combination of a worse than expected bullpen, and Dusty needing to win to save his job, IMO. |

Re: will arthur hold up?
Even if he stays healthy, he's not going to be this effective all year long - a 0.30 ERA is not reasonable, so the question is when he starts to struggle, how quickly will it start and how bad will it get? Will he just blow up all of a sudden?

Re: will arthur hold up?
Hopefully Bill Bray is healthy and ready to help soon. In 2008 Bray worked 63 games as a Red with a 2.45 era from the left side.
