Reds' Paul Maholm, Jason Marquis competing for rotation spot
by Sean d'Oliveira | CBSSports.com
If pitcher Homer Bailey is not on the Opening Day roster, Reds manager Bryan Price indicated hisspot in the rotation could go to Paul Maholm orJason Marquis, reports Cincinnati.com.
"An example would be if Homer is not able to go. If we're healthy, that means Cueto and Leake and three spots in the rotation – two that we think could potentially be filled by young pitchers in Cingrani and DeSclafani," Price said. "That to me suggests that a veteran guy in that other spot would be fairly important, someone who knows how to manage a game and has pitched in the league and has had success in the league. I think that's why guys like Jason and Paul are here."
