Phenom Homer Bailey Sent Down

I hope the Cards play the Reds a lot early in the year. From what I have read Bailey is going to be a good overpowering pitcher. I know the Reds traditionally dont develop pitching talent. Here is the link...

cuts
Don't have all the details yet, but...
Bailey, Votto, Meadows, Gosling among the cuts. Conway, Hannigan also. Will get more when i get em
UPDATE: OK. Ligtenberg and Meadows given outright release so they can try to hook on somewhere else. Neither wanted to go to AAA.
Bailey, Gosling, Conway, Hannigan reassigned to minor league camp.
Votto optioned to Class AAA Louisville
Wayne on Homer: "It’s a situation where he needs to get his innings to start getting ready for the season."
Wayne on Meadows and Ligtenberg: "We just felt there were other people in front of them and we figured we’d do it now instead of later to be fair to them. They’ve been around and we respect their status."
Jerry Narron on Votto: "These other guys like Joey Votto had a very, very good spring. They got experience and got in a lot of games. He made some nice plays defensively, so he did some things other than just his bat. After watching him, I’m not surprised with what he did in AA last year. He’s got a chance to hit."
