All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Felix Perez went 4-for-5 with a double for Lynchburg.
In the AZL, Junior Arias went 1-for-3 with a HR (#2) and a HBP. Ismael Guillon: 4 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 6 K. He now has 4 BB/15 K in 12.2 innings. He's got a chance to develop into a very good pitching prospect.
I don't think Volquez is quite ready...I would not bring him to Cincy until after the ASB personally.
Also, I do not like the Boxberger in relief ordeal. He was looking pretty good as a starter. Why change that??
At a minimum, it's to keep his innings down. From the get-go, it has been speculated he was slated for relief duty down the line anyway (I think it was Baseball America that dubbed him as the Reds' future closer), but if he has a third pitch that can develop into something more than average, I bet you'll see him stick as a starter.
Has Feliz Perez drawn a walk yet? I guess when you seem to go 4-5 every night you dont have any reason to walk...

It was the first time he struggled at all since his rehab began. Not really a big deal, IMO. I do like the decision to give him another rehab start though. I'd bring him back against the Nationals.
I have to think it was an aberration. His previous game was first rate. He had great control and command. It comes down to what caused this setback. If they don't know what the problem was, I'd like to see another start or two.
