Volquez goes 5 innings; throws 80 pitches
And he gives up 1 run on 3 hits for Louisville.

Great news. With a healthy Volquez in this rotation the Reds could be filthy.

Re: Volquez goes 5 innings; throws 80 pitches
I like him in the bullpen for a bit, get more arm strength. But that is just me. I'm sure I am in the minority on that issue. Who do we demote? I have a feeling its going to be LeCure. He has earned a roster spot in my opinion.

Re: Volquez goes 5 innings; throws 80 pitches
Lecure is probably going to be demoted, and I 'm hoping we finally work up the courage to trade one of our starters. I think we could get more out of Homer by trading him than keeping him in the rotation.

Re: Volquez goes 5 innings; throws 80 pitches
They have some interesting decisions coming their way.
If Bray continues to pitch well at Louisville, you know he will be called upon to replace Herrera. Masset and Ondrusek have been pitching better, so I don't see them going down. Owings isn't going anywhere, except in trade. Jordan Smith probably goes down at some point too. Possibly to bring up Chapman. What pitcher goes down when Volquez gets called up? Hmmmm. And Bailey surely comes back at some point soon, so LeCure goes back down.
