Reds Cut Bray, 2 Others

From MLB.com Press Pass:

 

Today the Reds returned Rule V draftee LHP Jose Capellan to the Boston Red Sox, Optioned LHP Bill Bray to Triple-A Louisville, and reassigned INF Andy Phillips to Minor League Camp.

Yesterday the Reds reassigned INF Andy Green to Minor League Camp.

 

Some thoughts.  What a waste of 25 G the Reds dropped on Capellan.  Did the dude even get in a game?  I hope Phillips accepts the assignment and sticks with the Reds, he's a nice insurance policy if we get a vicious hit from the injury bug.

 

About Bray, I'm dissapointed in the move.  Except one bad outing, he was real solid all spring.  In fact, he has been our best Lefty from the pen by far.  Either the Reds are concerned about his health some, or they really like Kent Mercker.  Sorry Wayne, no way I'd keep Kent over Bray.  If the Reds really were offered Wes Helms for Stanton and did not accept the deal, I think it's a 3 and a half million dollar mistake by Wayne.
