He is a good 2B, and he will probably stay in Cincinnati. The problem is, this is the year they have to win, because Votto is gone either thru free agency or a trade. Hopefully they get a trade and get some value for him. Same with Phillips, if they can't resign him, they better trade him for something. Maybe this trade talk is an indication that Phillips doesn't want to stay.

Phillips has said on twitter numerous times that he wants to stay here, but I don't blame him for wanting more $$$ Gotta get paid

Cincinnati is a small market team, they can't come up with the scratch that almost any other team in the MLB can. If they buy one big player it forces them to play lesser quality prospects (Stubbs, Bailey) or get over the hill players (Renteria, Rolen). Their farm system seems to be good, but they management has no patience to allow players to develop. They rush everyone to the Big Show and try and develop them on the fly.

And our new closer will never pitch a game this year. Madson out for the season for Tommy John surgery...

It will be interesting to see if Marshall can be a great closer. Chapman will be a nice set-up guy.

Meh. I'd rather see Chapman in the rotation in Louisville than be in the pen in Cincy. After he proves himself as a starter for the Bats, then lets see what he can do for the Reds' rotation later this year or next year.

'Great' and Reds pitching do not go in the same sentence, Cordero was a decent closer, Marshall won't be much better, if at all.

Chapman can't pitch on the reg, and once he gets a few days in a row, he falls apart. The league seemed to have figured out that he doesn't throw many strikes and the 3rd day in a row he is worthless. His best shot is back in the rotation like he was in Cuba, but a high pitch count and as the season wears on, I think he will become even worse. Afraid to say it, but he is showing signs that his arm is already worn out.

I haven't given up on him yet, but he's been a bust so far. And that's not completely his fault. The Reds organization has completely mishandled this kid. He should have been groomed for the rotation since day one.

The Reds don't groom anyone. Just rush prospects to the Big Show without developing anything. They are supposed to have a nice farm system, its just too bad they never stay there.

Final spot in the rotation? Bailey or Chapman.
I'm assuming Cueto, Latos, Arroyo, and Leake are already no-brainers.

Homer Bailey is a lot like Mike Pelfrey...loads of talent, but can't seem to put it together.

Spot on. It's a shame that the Reds have a lot of guys who have talent but can never put it together.

Glad to see we traded away Juan Francisco. He either hit the ball a long way, or struck out badly.
