I said Cingrani was going to be the closer. I am awesome. He's still just okay.

Adam Duvall doesn't walk enough to be a sustainable talent. He is probably too old to learn to walk. He will be trash in a couple years, but I guess hitting dingers is cool at the moment.

I'm not sold that Brandon Finnegan is a starter. I need to see better command. He a 5 that occasionally flashes 3 talent. He could be a 3, but I think it's a long shot.

Jay Burce is v good, and clearly his failings the last two years were because of the knee problem. He should bring good talent in return.

I hope to God that Brandon Phillips will finally fucking realize he won't get an extension and just accept a trade and sign year to year after his contract with whoever has a chance at a pennant.

Joey Votto is hitting .300 over his last 30 games. There is no need to panic. He can be on this team forever at 25m/yr and I won't complain about it.

Raisel Iglesias should not be in the bullpen. He is Bronson Arroyo with plus heat. I don't care how small he is, let the man go 5+ IP every 5 days. No amount of bullpen innings will be worth it.

People love Dan Straily because he's a softball looking ass gap-toothed Irishman who can pitch to a 4 ERA and I don't get it. "Look at how free he was! He's a scrapheap gem! Look at his mediocrity that we got for free!" Most Reds fans are cool with eating stale free samples of bread at the grocery store. I get that this town is blue collar and shit but like that dude is not an answer long term when we have 12 guys under 25 vying for the rotation long term.

Michael Lorenzen is a pen arm, and I'm totally okay with his transition. After saying that, I fully expect that the Reds FO will try him in the rotation next season.

CHRIST HOW IS HOMER BAILEY NOT BACK YET

I've always kinda thought that Billy Hamilton would be good enough to play every day if he hit .250 and I think he will hit .270 for a season in the next couple years and be an all-star. He still won't walk enough to be a top tier player, but he's actually turned my opinion around a bit.

If I have any other thoughts for you all to not read, I'll keep them to myself where they belong.

Why is Cingrani not a starter? He did well in his stints last year..

He's throwing 96 as a reliever and was low 90's as a starter and grrr throws like 90% fastballs

cody reed >.<

You didn't pick that guy for fantasy did you? He hasn't even started 5 games yet, has he?

Half his roster in the yahoo league is rookies; I think he has way too much expectations for rookie pitchers. Just about every rookie pitcher is not very good his rookie year; there's only a once in a blue moon Jose Fernandez who just dominates his rookie year.
