Tightness for Belisle
It looks as if the rotation decision for manager Dusty Baker is getting easier.
Baker reported today that Matt Belisle is experiencing tightness in his forearm. The club isn’t certain when he will be able to throw hard again.
It could be the disabled list for Belisle by Opening Day, making the decision for the fifth spot between Josh Fogg and Homer Bailey - if, indeed, Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez are in there.
“He has forearm discomfort from practicing his change-up,” Baker said of Belisle. “He has been throwing a lot them so there was some tightness there.”
Seems that the rotation might be getting even more clear.

Isn’t it strange how all of a sudden these odd injuries happen right before opening day and cuts ?? Forearm problems from change-ups??? At least they are getting better with reasons to put a guy on the DL….

If, and this is a big if, the rotation lives up to potential, the Reds should run away with the Central this year.
