The Reds moved Tony Cingrani to the bullpen, giving Maholm a better chance to win a rotation spot, the Cincinnati Enquirer suggests. The original supposition was that Cingrani and Anthony DeSclafani would fill two open rotation spots, and then either Maholm or Jason Marquis would be the favorite to land the spot vacated by Homer Bailey's season-opening DL stint. Now there's room for both veterans. "The thing is we've got veteran guys like Marquis and Maholm and we don't want to use them one start," Price said. "If they're going to be on our team, the hope is they're on our team for the entire season if not longer. That's how we have to look at it. You can back-and-forth a young guy. He can start a game or two, go down to the minor leagues or go into the bullpen and help as a long guy. Marquis and Maholm are looking more like long-term, start-to-finish options for us."
