[Ring'Em Up]

I don't think you have to worry about that. As bad as the Reds' pitching has been in recent years, I believe the last thing they would do is trade pitching, especially guys that are good, young, and cheap.

The only concern I do have is with Dusty Baker. One of his criticisms in Chicago was that he ruined Kerry Wood and Mark Prior by overusing them. Whether that is true or not I don't know, but hopefully he treats these two guys with kid gloves, especially the 21-year-old Cueto.

You got that right, Cowbell. Hopefully he has learned from the past and everyone upstairs will make sure he doesn't kill these guys like he did those. I am really surprised with the Cueto decision, especially when it pushed Homer out of the rotation. I prefer Cueto over Homer, but jus thought that with the added experience Homer has over him, that he would get the nod instead of Cueto. Anyone got anything solid on Bruce yet? Last word I got, he was going back to Louisville.
