Why did Germano get sent down earlier in the year? - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

Remeber when he was called up in May and came in with no outs and int walked someone to load the bases and then got out of the jam giving up no runs. I think he was sent down to make room for someone else coming off the DL (but he shouldnt have been sent down) or something, but he had a great curveball in his 1 appearance.

If he does come up now, I would imagine it would be for a start for Mays, which I hope he does. Do you think Germano would be better as a starter or relief in the bigs.

Mays was brought up to replace Germano. It was supposedly because they wanted Germano to be starting and Mays would be better suited to being pidgeon holed into a bullpen role. Obviously Mays has not worked in the bullpen for six weeks.

Quote:

Placed RHP Matt Belisle on the 15-day disabled list; called up RHP Justin Germano from Triple-A Louisville.

Then Germano was sent down after they purchased Mays contract from AAA Louisville.
