When the Cincinnati Reds sent Michael Lorenzen to Triple-A Louisville rather than keeping him in the majors to pitch out of the bullpen, it was clear that the team was looking at the bigger picture. In the minor leagues, Lorenzen can continue to start and get used to pitching starter’s innings before eventually taking a spot in the Reds’ rotation. The team made the same decision with Raisel Iglesias, choosing to option him to Louisville after his Reds’ debut on Sunday rather than moving him to the bullpen with Homer Bailey‘s return impending.
Should the Cincinnati Reds Use Lorenzen and/or Iglesias in the Bullpen?
