So he is on the 40 man which gives him an advantage, and if released someone may pickup up for their MLB squad, but what are the odds Janish never gets back up to the bigs? (Let's say for an extended stay, over 15 days)

Could you do it with only 1 strikeout?

He did. But, he had a hamstring injury. Didn't sound good though, he had to be helped off the field.

Ouch, tough luck again for the kid.

Cozart started the season at .059. Small sample size. Janish will not be release, and will likely have a significant amount of MLB time in his career - though maybe not with the Reds.

My guess is Janish's career path will be similar to Juan Castro or Cesar Izturis. I don't think he ever gets serious playing time for the reds again. And after 2011 I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him in another organization.

But, I still think (due to his defense) he'll see lots more mlb service time. And end up with that awesome MLB pension. 100k a year for life baby.
