The Reds don't plan to limit Mike Leake's innings this season.
Leake suffered from fatigue towards the end of last season, but manager Dusty Baker sees no warning signs this time around. "Last year, he didn't know what to expect coming out of college," Baker said. "He actually looks like he's getting stronger. He's training. He knows how to train and prepare between starts. I call him the Running Man. Every time I see him he's running." Leake threw 138 1/3 innings last year and is at 132 2/3 coming into Sunday's start, so it's not as if his innings hike this season will be terribly dramatic, anyway.
