Nuxhall thinks that if Bailey proves his stuff in spring then the Reds will almost
certainly keep Bailey and he will leave spring training as part of the rotation.
This seems very plausible...he was practically untouchable at AA, so we will
see... but I still think it is more likely that he will start at Louisville in AAA, and
then end up in Cincy in May or June, as I am sure that they will not rush
him, or let him pitch a lot of excess innings than he threw last year.
He is still young and building arm strength.
