redsbengalsbucks Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Now with the 4 year extension of Cueto for 27 million ??Very nice work by the Reds front office to get these guys back.This pitching staff looks stacked and they are poised for good things in 2011.Holy hell, how nice would it be to see Arredondo return to his 2008 form in the bullpen ??I'd rather have Volquez signed and working on Cueto but that is splittlng hairs.Well, when it comes to Volquez, he has to show more consistency after coming back from his Tommy John surgery.I'm hoping the offseason can go a long way with that, but we need more than 1 good game out of every 3.Cueto at an average of 6.75 million per year for the next 4 ?? Sure, I'm very happy with that.I'm happy with what has been done, but I think Volquez is the #1 pitcher on the team right now. He has had the offseason to work out the rust and he will be healthy and ready to go this year.I am glad that they signed the #3 pitcher to a long term contract and getting Bruce and Votto signed is huge.

ArmyBengal Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I think the pitching battle is going to be crazy this spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Both Cueto and Volquez are solid pitchers. I do feel that they have a long way to go to be great starters. In big games, they have folded showing a lack of mental toughness. Against weak teams it's no problem for them. Honestly, I'm more impressed with Wood and Leake. Calm demeanor, tough competitors. Starting pitching is going to be a weak point again this year unless there are some strides made by the staff. Same with the bullpen. Too much inconsistency. We'll see.

ArmyBengal Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I love the fact that Wood and Leake will be there pushing all the rest.LOVE IT !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Honestly though, for all the talk about the Reds being the favorite this year in the Central, I think it's a bit off.They couldn't beat the big teams and I don't think it's so easy to expect another season of the Cubs beating the hell out of the Cards and then losing to everyone else to help the Reds coast to the Central title even though they went 5-5 over their last 10.

ArmyBengal Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 For those looking to get Volquez done, reports have them close to a 1 year deal.I would prefer to see it a little longer, but will take what we are given.Maybe just trying to make sure no damage to the arm ??/>http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110129&content_id=16531742&vkey=news_cin&c_id=cin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 We're likely to lose at least one of the young pitchers soon, so I hope it's Volquez if anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Jocketty says the Reds wanted a multi year deal with Volquez, but he wanted the one year deal.If his consistency doesn't improve, the one year deal may actually benefit the Reds.If it does, they are in a position to try to keep him or let him go knowing we now have depth at the position.Win win in my book...

jjakq27 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Jim Edmonds signs with the Cards./>http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/article_f0ddc25c-309b-11e0-a01f-0017a4a78c22.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Can't say as I care about Edmonds. He is as old as can be and waiting to get injured again.I don't care in the least and if he makes the cards lineup, I will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
