    Am I the only one who really appreciates a fundamentally perfect caught stealing by the catcher?

    I REALLY liked the fact that Phillips acknowledged the throw. That is what a team mate should do...

    So he doesn't come up too early, get toasted, and mess up his development in a lost season?

    How's it going to "mess with his development?" You saying he's so weak minded that if he gets hit around as a rookie that he'll be damaged beyond repair?

    That's a myth first of all. And if it were true, then I don't want him anyway. He's wasting pitches in Pensacola.

    Better post that Chapman pitched in the 8th on the main board and sticky it. This is breaking news.

    I'm not too knowledgeable on this issue but would it speed up his arbitration years?

    T-Hom loses it everytime someone makes an out on the first pitch but when they rake off that first pitch he points out how ready they were to jump all over it

    Wood had a pretty good game for us in 2010 against a good Philadelphia team...almost perfect.

    It does count towards service time. That's the best argument for not bringing him up honestly, not this "messing with development" stuff. He's obviously one of the best arms the Reds have in the organization. Keeping him in the minors much longer is just bringing him closer to the inevitable injury while never helping the big club.
