Freaking stud. 10 innings 1 run 10 k's. Retired 17 straight at one point. This coming right after his grandfathers death. If this kid isn't an ace I don't know who is. The rotation is looking up for the reds the next 3 years. Arroyo, Harang, Cueto and Bailey should be as good as it gets.
I'd love to see the Reds get a good quality pitcher that could slide in between Harang and Arroyo. Then, shore up that HORRIBLE pen. Saarloser and Coffey must go!!
JFlight,
What do you think happens when Eddie Guardado comes back? Closer or set up man?
I though the reds fans were all down on arroyo, seeing as how he's been pretty bad. Also, is cueto any good, I've never seen him pitch?
Weathers should stay at closer. We need to trade him so imo eddie should be the setup so we can showcase Weathers.
On Cueto, some think he will end up being better than homer. He is only 5'10 but hits 97 and is dominating at double A as a 21 year old.
But I am more excited about Jay Bruce. He is OPS'ing at .984 in triple A as a 20 year old.

is that anything like PMS'ing?
Johnny Cueto to Triple A. Once Homer is off the DL our triple a club will have Votto, Bruce, Bailey and Cueto on it. It's comforting to know that your top 4 prospects are all on level from the majors.
Cueto with 2 hit ball for 6 shutout innings in his triple a debut. Jay Bruce is OPS'ing .981 at triple a. .20 higher than Upton is at double a. Bruce is the best in the minors.

I guess bruce'll be another one of those great reds' prospects, just like homer.
Bruce is a better prospect than Homer. He is our best since Larkin.
Cueto will end up being better than Homer unless Bailey can get a hold of his curve and change.
I'm just really excited for our future. But I wish Krivsky had unloaded Dunn, Griff, conine, Weathers, Stanton, Hatteberg at the deadline. The Reds really need to start over and we have enough talent in the upper minors to do it. Krivsky is just a flat out idiot.
I was just kidding btw. I'm typing on my iPhone and I don't know where the smileys are.
You ponied up 600 for one of those?

i invested $5000 in the stock at 84.55 and now it's at 135. I also put in $1000 at 90, so i made enough to buy the phone and pay for a few years of service.
it's incredible. definitely worth the money.
