Reds Fan Speaks Out

This is what Rusty Harris had to say...

After watching today's game against the Mets I have came to the
conclusion that time for change has come. Cueto will have his bad
games and great games he is young that is going to happen. Cueto goes
through learning pains this year and is ready for a heavier workload
and have experience going into next year. My question to Red Managment
is Why are you not doing the same with Bailey ? Bring him up NOW and
see how much he has improved from last year you can not judge him on
spring training this year bring him up and give him the starts and see
how far he has come along. Yes , Bailey got hit hard his last outing
at Louisville but that was his first bad outing and Belisle's era
keeps going up so what could it hurt to bring up Bailey. After the
rainout on Friday night Bailey and Belisle are on the same pitching
schedule so it is an easy decision to make when Belisles spot comes
back around DFA Fogg , Belisle to long relief and Bailey to the
rotation. Then there is the Bruce debate and I have heard it from all
angles " he strikes out too much " and " he is not ready yet " well it
is called growing pains and he will go through them just like almost
every rookie does. Yes he does strikeout alot but honestly reds fan do
you want Patterson and Freel in cf right now leading off or would you
rather have a 5 tool player with .300 30 100 potential in the lineup.
Yea its not that hard of a decision. My suggestions are as follows

DFA Fogg
Belisle goes to long relief
Bailey moves into the rotation
Merker DFA
Bray stays
Patterson DFA
Bruce up
