As a Mets fan, I got my first glimpse of Leake last night, and was very impressed. Spots the ball pretty much wherever he wants, doesn't labor at all, and as Ronnie Darling pointed out-acts as if he is a 5 year vet out there. Not a surprise that he won the 5th starter job out of camp after seeing his stuff last night. With Volquez on the way back at some point and Chapman getting experience in AAA, this Reds staff might be coming together as a pretty nice unit. Making a deadline deal with either Harrang or Bronson is not going to kill them at all, and they might be able to pull a Kazmir like heist with the right, desperate team. I think Reds fans have to be somewhat excited about their future.
