I fully expect him to continue to rely heavily on his fastball/slider combo at the next level. As a reliever, he won't really need much more.<br /><br />I could see him in Cincy as soon as after the All Star break, but probably more likely in September. It should be fun to see what he can do.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />Best,<br />LarkLark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06571198327064220683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347536209014288641.post-32826589605373847642011-02-18T16:51:07.342-08:002011-02-18T16:51:07.342-08:00Yea i agree, i didnt know he only had 2 pitches bu...Yea i agree, i didnt know he only had 2 pitches but i also didnt know he had that kind of slider!

Was Bray ever actually in our bullpen? :)...Smitty,<br /><br />Was Bray ever actually in our bullpen? :) Seems like he's a walking MASH unit. He has always seemed more specter than reality. <br /><br />As for Joseph, he's exciting. I'm hopeful he settles in as a top drawer 8th inning setup man in the near future. He has the two pitches to thrive in high leverage situations. <br /><br />Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />Best,<br />LarkLark11https://www.blogger.com/profile/06571198327064220683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347536209014288641.post-85460304020015857712011-02-18T11:46:46.091-08:002011-02-18T11:46:46.091-08:00i really like joseph, can wait for him to replace ...i really like joseph, can wait for him to replace bray in out bullpen!smittynoreply@blogger.com
