I agree with this...Time for Cumberland to get a look at AAA, and I really have some hope for Dorn...

Wow, he's really bounced back from that early career bust label. Perhaps he should win the "Comeback Player of the Week" award.

They should create a "Comeback Player of the Career" award...

Pedro Viola had another great outing last night: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K. After getting off to a horrible start (8.71 ERA in 10.1 innings in April), he's really starting to heat up now. In his last six appearances he's thrown 6.1 innings, allowed only one run on four hits, and has a 1 BB/10 K over that span. In May he has a 3.46 ERA and 4 BB/16 K ratio in 13 innings. His struggles were hard to explain because he's got great stuff, but nonetheless it's great to see him pitching well again. I think he's got a chance to replace Affeldt as the other lefty in the Reds bullpen next year.

Reliever Logan Ondrusek was transferred from Class A Sarasota yesterday. Bats manager Rick Sweet said Marcus McBeth, who has been on the disabled list since April 21, might rejoin the club "in a couple of days."
