If he's making that much latos and bailey are sure to win their cases too. I'm sorry but how did mike leake win his arbitration case for 3.5 mill? Is he really worth that much compared to all the other pitchers in the league similar to him?

This looks like a steal of a deal.

I'm going to resist the urge to pile on with more five-finger discount jokes!

Somewhere in downtown Cincy, a pink slip hangs in the locker of a Macy's security guard.

If Mike Leake is worth 3 million dollars we might as well go try to lock up Milton Bradley for a few seasons after he gets out of jail. You could have bought him a ball bit and a gum ball machine and he would have been amped. The dudes got talent but he explodes far too often. We don't need a sixth man or another long reliever as I would much rather see Cingrani or LeCure in those roles.

Glad to hear it. I hope we can keep our long streak of "no arbitration hearings" intact, especially with Latos and Bailey.

I as much as anyone am enjoying the LTC's (esp. the price) we locked up a year ago but the Reds are not immune to contract prices going up. Seems about right for Leake given the market trends. I bet Latos and Bailey get close to what they're asking if arbitration is avoided.

As I said on another thread, Leake, a ground ball pitcher, allowed 26 homers, ERA above 4.5, didn't make post season roster until an injury, then allowed five runs in key playoff game. I've supported Leake on this site but I think he did quite well with this contract, used the arbitration process well, and now has something to prove in 2013. I would add that it behooves Mike to have a good start this year, with Chapman likely in the pen getting ready to start later in the season. Leake right now seems most likely candidate to give way once Chappy is ready, although that could obviously change as the season goes forward. Last edited by Kc61; 02-07-2013 at 03:52 PM. |

By the time May rolls around, things will probably work themselves out. The Reds were incredibly injury-lucky in their starting rotation last year. Chances are that will not happen again and Reds fans will be thanking their lucky stars the Reds kept a guy like Leake around. |

Wasn't it just a few years ago this kid was the next Greg Maddux? He was a super two right?
