I haven't personally discussed the Reds' views of prospects with the team's staff. I don't know what their internal reports are. This year, they promoted the right guys and they went slow with guys who needed it. The only promotion I didn't like was Homer, who wasn't doing well at AAA and wasn't likely to do well with the Reds this year.
As for Patterson and Bako, if it makes everybody feel good to bark at them 150 times per season, so be it. The truth, of course, if that Baker sent Patterson down to AAA and only brought him back when all these outfield injuries took place. And Bako is the best veteran defensive catcher they have to work with the younger pitchers.
I now dub Ryan Hanigan, The Hobbit.

Lincoln for second inning of work.
With 500 pitchers in the pen now, why use Lincoln for 2 innings when he's been poor lately and even over the course of the year bad in his 2nd trip to mound?

Lincoln back out for another inning. Goodness.
He struggled badly the first month or two of the season, but he improved dramatically EVERY month this season. He was a terror at the plate the last month or two.
~edit~ Per Fay....--Adam Rosales, INF: He's an interesting guy to watch. He's athletic. He's hit everywhere he's played. And he hustles like Pete Rose. Look at his Louisville averages this year: .177 in April, .235 in May, .299 in June, .324 in July and .436 in August. If the Reds decided to move Brandon Phillips to short, I'd have him in the mix at second base.
