Both of these guys need to find the plate with a lot more consistency or head to the bull pen. Especially Stephenson. Went down to the game Monday night and the Reds won but Josh Harrison a UC grad hit 2 home runs. I coached him on a select team when he was about 13 years old. great lid and a wonderful family. He had a big series for the pirates.

Sink or sink time for a 24 year old with 11 starts a little premature??

If you can't throw strikes consistently in the majors leagues you have no shot at being successful. Both these guys have that issue. They have plenty of arm. I'm not advocating we give up on them but itst time they start taking steps forward.

Arroyo goes 6 innings in another win. He doesn't look pretty but the team wins behind him. Peralta is becoming a monster. His change up is sic. He throws 97 and comes back with same arm motion and hits 83 mph. The reds are becoming a team that you better get on top of early or you may be heading for a loss. If they can get the rotation straightened out a wild card isn't out of the question. Almost a 1/4 of the way through the season and they are hanging in there. A huge key is can Billy Hamilton stay healthy and can he keep getting on base?

Also, I like to add SB-CS to SLG% for guys like Hamilton. It's just so hard to gauge his value otherwise. For example, the other day he led off with a single...2 pitches later he was at 3rd. That doesn't get factored into anything but SB. So he'd have a .793 ops with my formula, instead of .671. it's not perfect but it helps show his value more appropriately imo. I know FanGraphs has been working on similar ways to take this all into account. Here's an article from RedReporter kind of breaking down wSB:
