Sounds like Dusty is fully on board with moving Chapman to the rotation:

Y! SPORTS

Or not.

It was extremely comforting for Dusty to have Chapman dominating like he was as closer that he didn't have to manage his bullpen much. With Chapman going to the rotation now it won't be as straight forward this year. Totally understandable for him to feel the way he does about it.

they got him broxton to ease the transition some. chapman's performance may be the deciding factor anyway.

Correct but I'm not sold on Broxton being able to stay healthy and he hasn't been nearly as good the past few years as he was in LA...

If you guys can't decide how to use him we need a situational lefty so keep us in mind.

No worries, you guys have Mike Leake that can fill his spot in the rotation....

if aroldis doesn't work isn't leake who it will be at least for a bit?

Tony Cingrani as well and perhaps Armando Galarraga. Leake will get a start or 2 for sure but I don't think he has the guaranteed 5th spot locked down by any means if Aroldis doesn't work out or they go with a 6 man to limit his innings...

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

3 so far in the first. Choo BB, BP single, Votto RBI single to start the inning...

 

[95 Vol Alum]

SIAP - Reds will keep Cueto out of the WBC. They can do this contractually because he did not finish the season due to injury as I understand it.

long read but interesting story on Chapman:

[champyvol]

lets go reds. :rock:

 

[005]

I may go up to Cincy for some Reds/Indians this year.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Let me know if you need good seats.

 

[005]

I would love to be able to go to that may 27/28 set in Cincy. Just depends.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Let me know.

Mark Prior signs with Reds

 

[005]

dusty!

 

[zjcvols]

How funny would it be for Mark Prior to resurrect his career with Dusty Baker as a Cincinnati Red?
