I've not given up on Mahle making something of himself as a starter, but as of last year I would rather take Gray/Castillo/DeScalfani on 3 days rest than Mahle in such a short season.
Or the Reds if Bauer continues his poor showing as a Red from last year.
Last year and early Spring Training doesn't mean jack. They went out and got Bauer and Miley and they should get early starts with Gray, Castillo, Disco. Don't Assume. Start with the planned 5 man rotation.
I'm not worried about Reds pitching. I'm worried how Reds batters couldn't get above .250 last year, let alone near .300.....Can we have some batters hit .300.....Hey Joey, give us .300 for 2 months, would ya'...This Galvis everybody in Reds Nation raved about getting, he needs to hit. Last year Reds had a couple home run hitters, but just about every Reds hitter had lousy batting averages, meaning too many outs to win. I know we have pitching, do we have hitting. Last year almost every players B.A. was awful. They need to come out Hitting or they will be knocked out of this 60 game sprint fast.
