    Bill Bray

    Has there been any word when he could possibly start pitching again? I know it's been close to a year since he had TJ surgery. You'd think he'd be close to getting some rehab assignments.

    Re: Bill Bray

    Can we put him on the 60 day DL at least to free up a spot on the 40 man?

    Dickerson's already on the 60 day DL. I don't think you can have more than a couple on it.

    There's no limit to how many players you can put on the 60-day DL, but you can't put someone on the 60-day DL unless the 40-man roster is full.

    In other words, the answer to redsfandan's question is 'yes'.

    I believe it has something to do with him being in the minor leagues and putting him on the 60 day DL adds to his major leageu service time.

    Interesting that all three of the pitchers we acquired in that trade have/had serious injury problems. Probably yet another example of JimBo's shadiness.

    Yeah I thought so too. But keeping him on the 40 for months and months when there's no chance that he'll pitch anytime soon complicates things. He's a reliever. I'm not saying that he should've been on it ALL this time but if the Reds need a spot will putting him on the 60 day DL now make THAT much of a difference in the long run.

    Re: Bill Bray

    So I guess the answer is no one knows what's up with Bray

    Pretty good guess. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if he's done. You can only blow your arm out and have surgery so many times. This guy has been a walking injury report since the Reds traded for him four years ago.

    Re: Bill Bray

    Rotoworld had an update on him back on May 9th. Nothing after that though.

    Bill Bray threw a simulated game earlier this week as he begins working back from the Tommy John surgery he had last May.

    Bray felt fine after the sim game, which is a good sign. The Reds are hoping to have him back in six to eight weeks barring any setbacks in the rehab process.

    This is what I was thinking.

    I'm pretty confident you'll never see him pitch in a Reds uniform again

    So, hopefully he can start his rehab assignment this month.

    The power of Twitter: Bray is at Lynchburg and will pitch tomorrow. That from a Twitter who would know. #reds
