We don’t have access to the Reds’ internal scouting reports.
But at this point I’m convinced Reds do not feel he will help them playing regularly - on the merits as they see them.
It’s no longer about minor league options available (he’s with the team). It’s no longer about Ervin or Jankowski or anyone else getting a preference. They just don’t think he will help - especially against RHP.
So IMO it’s time to leave it alone. They’ve made their call. He’ll probably play againt lefties. If they thought AA could help they would play him more, they are obviously desperate to win.
