Guest BengalBacker Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I don't expect him to be a world beater right off the bat, but it's time for him to get major league experience. Let him take his lumps and learn if that's what happens. Who knows, he might slide right in and do well. Only way to find out is to put him out there.

Guest WhoDeyForever Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I really hope this happens. I think Santos will start though. This is all speculation and I don't think we will see Santos pitching out of the bullpen for a while probably and let him start Saturday. I hope I am wrong though.

Guest ONYX Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 [color="#FF0000"][b]Considering I do not follow the Reds, I have heard all kinds of hype about this Bailey guy. I dont know what the public's expectation of him is but if he comes in and stinks up the joint like most of the Reds' pitchers, I see no hope for this franchise in the near or distant future. Actually I see no hope for this franchise in the near or distant future now, but if Bailey flops in his first few starts, it will just confirm it.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 My hope is that he takes time until the all star break to get used to the majors and hope he starts showing a ton of potential after the all star break and make a run at ROY. And also hope that arroyo and harang return to form by the all star break and we could have a sweet 1-2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sick of everyone saying that the reds suck and have no future just because they had a bad start to one fucking season. So i decided ill go position by position for all the dumbasses out there that are two lazy. We have 2 great starting pitchers who are locked up till 2010. Harang is 6-2 and having a good season so far. Arroyo is kinda sucking right now, but i believe it is because early in the season he was getting no run support and he feels he has to pitch perfect every time he goes out there. But i believe he'll come back around and win close to 15 games this year. Belisle is about to be 6-4 with a low 4 era which is damn good for a 3-5 pitcher. Then there are bailey, dumtrait, and livingston and Ill be surprised if 2 of those 3 dont turn out to be solid pitchers in the majors with one of them (prob bailey) being an ace in the future. Relief pitching still kinda sucks, but i still think bray will be a stud whenever the hell he comes back, and burton and salmon look decent. 1st base platoon of conine and hatty will be sufficient until Votto is ready and he is a bright prospect. 2nd base phillips is a stud, he just hit his 10th homer, and is pretty good in the field. SS we have gonzalez who is doing a lot better from the plate then anyone could have imagined, and hopefully he can keep that up for a couple years and by then hopefully a guy in the minors will be able to take over. 3rd base- EE is bating .367 since coming back from the minors, which i think was just what he needed a little reality check. I think he'll be solid for a while. OF- Dunn is gonna hit 40 homers even if he strikes out a lot, and it wont kill the team having a guy like that. Griffey is having a good year and i think he will for the next 2-3 years and eventually that texas guy can take over. Hamilton is gonna be amazing. Catcher is prob our weakest spot on offense. The future is gonna come down to guys such as the three pitchers i named earlier, Votto, and jay bruce. If they are all good as people say then this team will be sweet in the future. And i gurantee this reds team stilll wins 75-80 games even with the bad start, unless there are injuries or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't watch the Reds much but I already made that known before I posted my opinion. I used to be a big fan, but the years have worn on me. The Bengals' dark decade took all my tolerance and patience. I have none left for the Reds. I am no longer the hardcore fan like you. Whether the Reds suck or not, you will always support them. So the Reds dont have to worry about your type. However, the Reds do have to worry about my type. Which is the fringe fan. The kind of fan that has lost all interest because this team has not gone to the playoffs since 1995 and they have not had a winning record since 2000. Must I remind you that it's 2007? If they (the Reds) want to reel fans back in, like me, this Homer Bailey dude or somebody had better show something the remainder of the year. Or a lot fans like you are going to turn into a lot of fans like me.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant abandon a team because they have bad seasons. Second of all it doesnt matter if they lose fans like you, cause once they get good again everyone will jump back on the bandwagon (IE: Bengals) Third of all, when the reds win a world series or make the playoffs it will be sweeter for the fans like me, rather then the fans like you. Im willing to wait for it, but when it does happen, and believe me it will, it will be that much sweeter for me. Kinda like when the bengals win the superbowl it will be that much more amazing for fans like you and me, rather then fans that just jumped on the bandwagon in 2005.

I refuse to sacrifice any more for the Reds. At least when the Bengals sucked, you only had to watch them lose once a week, not every damn day likr the Reds. And at least in the NFL, every team is on the same financial playing field. Incompetence was Mike Brown's problem, not payroll. The way baseball is set up, small market teams like the Reds, have to strike gold developing prospects year after year to compete with big market teams.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
