Well, I was wrong that it would either be Micah Owings or Matt Maloney that would take Homer Bailey's spot in the rotation.
The Reds have decided to call up Sam LeCure who will make his Major League debut on Friday against the Astros.
LeCure, 26, was very impressive at Louisville this season, going 5-2 with a 2.55 ERA in nine starts. In 60 innings, LeCure had 51 strikeouts, while giving up just 15 walks and 57 hits. He was the Reds' fourth-round draft pick in 2005 out of Texas. (Yes, it seems half of the roster is from the state of Texas.)
LeCure has earned the right to make his big league debut and it will be interesting to see how he performs tomorrow. And even though I thought Owings would move to the rotation, I like this idea. Owings has been good in the bullpen and the Reds need as many solid bullpen arms as they can get right now.
