Homer Bailey SMH

[Yojimbo]

Another elbow surgery. This time for bone spurs and out 4-6 weeks. Likely starts season on DL. Can we just cut him and eat the contract? That way we can at least move on and quit trying to hold a rotation spot for somebody less reliable than Eifert.

[Goalpost]

Has pitched 34 innings the last two years and now this.

It's impossible to forecast injuries, but an easy second guess here that the money should have gone to Cueto.

seems like ten seconds after he got paid, he got waylayed.

Welp...

More innings for the youngsters...

End result could be one of the worst contracts in Reds history.

This. I'm glad Cueto got his ring, but I wish he would've stayed with us.

Guess somebody else will have to lasso the clubhouse attendants in his absence. What a douchebag.

Not really a second guess when a lot of people really really didn't like the Homer contract the second it was announced.

Can't say I am surprised he's hurt again, though. Next up.. Mesoraco will get hurt 20 games into the season. (Prepare your gasps of surprise, everyone.)

I'm beginning to think he's a hypochondriac and getting paid millions to be one.

Good work if you can get it.

Maybe he'll run for elected office. The idle rich seem popular with voters these days. He's definitely a 'job creator ' giving all the other pitchers jobs instead of himself.

Keep your dirty P&R crossovers from the sacred hall of baseball. Lol

Trying to remember.... we had Cueto, Leake, Simon, and Latos maybe? and we picked this guy to give the big contract to? He was generally really good or average at best when he was on the field. Maybe he will pitch really well when/if he comes back, and we can trade him for a highly ranked prospect or two to a team in the playoff race desperate for pitching.

Simon was a bullpen pitcher at the time I do believe. Also like 32 or 33.

But yeah, Cueto, Leake, and Latos. Never woulda saw Latos falling off a cliff like that, but Cueto or Leake would sure be nice to have over Bailey.
