CURRENT: DEADLINE/ALLSTAR GAME NEXT:OFFSEASON/PLAYOFFS
Promotions/Demotions
Jon Moscot (1st promotion this year) takes Straily's bullpen slot
Dan Straily (1st demotion this year) 1-2 5.23 ERA in 13 games (4 starts)
C Kyle Skipworth (Trade) 1st promote
1B Jordan Pacheo (Trade) 1st promote
RHP A.J Cole (Injury promotion) 1st promote/demoted after 1 week
C Roman Cabrera (Injury Promotion) 1st promote/demoted after 3 weeks
RF (converted to LF) Jesse Winkler 1st promotion this year, de facto starter
Trades:
6/10/16
Traded Joey Votto (5*) and Devin Mesoroco (2.5*) to the Washington Nationals for 24 Year old Wilmer Difo (4* potential) and 24 Year old A.J Cole (4* potential)
Reason: we will need rotation help with Lamb done for the year; Anthony DeSclafani, Robert Stephenson and Brandon Finnegan have not been producing in the rotation. Cole should be able to provide when he hits 25 years old and be a #2 to a possible # 1 starter in the future. Difo should be able to produce if and when Brandon Phillips gets traded or his contract expires.
Also provides great salary relief
Tucker Barnhart will now be starting at catcher with Kyle Skipworth getting the call as a backup and Jordan Pacheco will take over 1B duties with Votto's absence
7/25/16
Traded Billy Hamiltion (4* current) for 21 year old Yairo Munoz (4.5* potential) and 24 year old RHP SP Kyle Finnegan (2.5* potential)
Reason: Hamilton was demanding a 10 mill arbitration next year and with and extended 1 month cold streak I decided to flip him for some worth. Munoz should contribute once we are done with Cozart or could be apart of a different trade if deemed expendable. Finnegan was just icing on the cake, projected as an emergency starter, I feel like he can over come that ceiling and be a rotation piece.
Due to Hamiltons departure, prospect Jesse Winkler got the call to start in left field with Kyle M. Waldrop getting the start every other game. Scott Schebler is now our CF.
Rotation changes:
7/25/16
Jon Moscot takes over Brandon Finnegan's rotation spot (Finnegan: 5-11 5.37 ERA in 19 starts) (Moscot: 2-0 0.00 ERA in 0 starts 7 out of the pen.

called up A.J Cole as extra bullpen option

Tucker Barnhart (Strained Back) 3 weeks DL
