It's so nice of you to come to the site so quickly after your outing. It's great to have you here. Feel free to stick around.
Anybody think Flores has a chance to make this team? Might have accomplished for them what Rhodes is likely to do and at a much lower cost. Will be interesting to see. I remember watching him in Oakland being pretty effective for a couple of years.
yes -- with Bray slow out of the blocks, I think they're looking closely at him and Danny Ray -- does Bray have options left?Anybody think Flores has a chance to make this team?
Agree with lollipop, Bray's annual slow start opens the door a bit for another lefty to make the team out of camp until Bray is ready. I am rooting for Herrera myself.
I hope so. He's a phenomenal character guy. If you look at his numbers, you really have to wonder why he hasn't been given more of a chance. He has a reputation of being a lefty specialist, but in the minors, the results weren't much different than they were against right-handers. So far, in the majors, it's been a little bit of a different story, though.
I can't remember if he was optioned last year, but I know he has one or two options left.
edit: Yeah, he was optioned for most of April last year, so he has only one option left.
Fultz gives up a run on a hit and two walks in the 6th inning. 1-1 after six.
Reds' 7th: Barker doubles. Castillo F7. Tatum 5-4. Richar K.
1-1 after 6 1/2. Herrera is pitching the 7th.
Herrera throws a scoreless 7th. 1-1 after 7.
I love that our pitchers are making the roster decisions hard for TPTB for a change and pitching really well!
