Come back with me, if you will, to a moment in the not-so-distant past. The Reds had a couple of hotshot starters in Louisville and a dew more in Pensacola. We were waiting to see who would make the leap the big leagues and who wouldn’t quite cut it. I know, I know it’s hard to imagine now. Oh, wait, that’s right. We’re exactly back where we were.
There have been some bumps along the way, but right now, there are at least six pitchers in the minors who we should think of as potential fixtures in the rotation in the coming years.
