Wow, this DOTF is very readable. Thank you for providing this service.
Homer Bailey… Everyone take time to look up his stats, and then rationalize Reds mgmt decision not top fast track this kid… He’s obviously got the stuff! Time at the AAA level right now would really be beneficial for him and the Reds, He is the short/long term answer to our 5th man in the rotation. He is showing true improvement and growth ads he moves up the ladder. Someone tell Krivsky to get him to Louisville asap so that he may be in the Nati by the end of this season. He’l learn more from the Big Leaguers.
