    Whats wrong with Bailey pitching in front of Volquez?

    On another note, Jay Bruce might have to continue hitting .500 to have a chance to make the team.

    Could you see the Reds start Harang or Arroyo off after another pitcher? Volquez needs to win the job and the Reds need to give him the confidence to do just that. Starting him off in the 2nd spot isn't a very nice.

    Homer also needs to win the job. I am sure as these guys start throwing 4 and 5 innings later in the spring, they will each get their own days, but until then I don't see much of an issue right now with the current set up.

    No we will be complaining about the black area on the hats, above the ear.

    Here is a multipage thread on hat ratings

    Yes, in his entire two innings of work.

    Well, in 3.2 innings of work last year he had a 19.64 ERA.

    It's all relative, I guess.

    Bailey's fastball was limper last year compared to this year. We will see how he does when he gets a 4I chance(which I figure he will get at some point).

    Aronchis, may I ask how you are privy to such details? Do you just go off what you read? Seen him in person? Just curious where your insight comes from. Thanks!

    Nice 1-2-3 inning from Marcus McBeth. I like his arm, hopefully he can have a nice spring and make the team as a middle reliever. He would be a huge upgrade over the likes of Majewski and Stanton IMO.

    I saw him in person last year and read the reports pre-ST games. He was struggling to get above 94mph at times. I was stunned how much he tailed off from his impressive 06 camp. This year, it is back to normal from all reports.

    It wasn't to the end of the year we saw Bailey fully healthy IMO.

    The kid has work to do, but his 2 seamer seems to be really coming along. Needs to improve from the stretch. Seems when his command breaks down.
