When the Cincinnati Reds were going through “The Rebuild (TM)”, much of the success and failure of that stretch was the reliance on the farm system to produce starting pitching. Robert Stephenson, Amir Garrett, Brandon Finnegan, Tyler Mahle, and Sal Romano were the guys the organization was counting on to produce and get them to where they wanted to be.

Only Mahle remains a starting pitcher from that group. Over the weekend, Romano learned that he had made the team as a reliever.
