Maybe there is some hope for the Bull Pen.
From the Reds Official Website, sounds like Narron is ready to make some personel changes in the Pen.
If the struggles continue however, Narron said the Reds could begin looking to Triple-A Louisville for reinforcements.
"The one thing about our bullpen is, especially with our right-handers, it's all basically the same type of stuff," Narron said. "There's no real power guy -- someone who's going to throw in the mid-90s. I'm talking about someone who can blow in some gas."
Right-handers Jared Burton and Brad Salmon both regularly heat up the radar gun in the mid-90s. Burton, a Rule 5 player, is on an injury rehab assignment with Louisville after going on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring on April 8.
Burton has a 1.50 ERA in four games (one earned run in six innings), while Salmon has a 2.16 ERA (two earned runs, 8 1/3 innings) and two saves in eight games. Another right-hander, Gary Majewski, has an 8.00 ERA in nine games (eight earned runs, nine innings).
