Baker Called Up:Baker got the call for Saturday's start and picked up a win in his first start of the season. Congrats from PnR.
Game Stats: 8.1 IP, 2 ER, 6H, 0BB, 5K, W
Votto Now Learning the OF:
Joey Votto is now getting playing time out in LF for the Louisville Bats. This is a good sign if, like PnR, you anticipate the Reds will move some players to make way for the young prospect. A late-July deal and early August call-up seems the most likely.
Apologies to Jay Bruce:
In the "Next 5" last week, PnR incorrectly labelled Votto is the second most highly rated prospect in the Reds organization. As most of you know, that distinction belongs to Jay Bruce, the young OF currently raking in Sarasota for the High A club. Bruce was motivated by this snub, going 5-15 with 3BB and 3 2B since being overlooked. His current season line is impressive, and he figures to get a call up to Chattanooga -AA some time this season (although we'd like to see fewer Ks before he makes the jump).
Stat Line: .350/.404/.644/1.048, 9 HR, 33 RBI, 15 2B, 5 3B, 177 AB, 43K, 18BB
