Any Love For Bill Bray??

I know Bray is not a big name guy, but I'm intrigued by him as a potential future closer. I recall that he was the nations top closer in college (some Virginia school I believe), and he was the key guy in the Reds-Nats trade involving Kearns and Lopez. The Reds really insisted on him being in this deal to make it work. He's been hurt, but I've seen him throw and I like his stuff and makeup, when healthy. Does anyone see upside potential for Bray and could he be a surprise for the Reds this year, perhaps winning that set up job?

Bray

I liked Bray a lot coming into 2007 as a guy who would win the closers job at some point last year. Sadly, he got hurt.

Bray

I really liked it when they got Bray and finally gave up on Wagner, but I belive it will be between Bray and Burton.

Bray

having a good spring, but I don't think the Reds view him as a closer. They have Cordero now, with Burton and Roenicke as possible replacements down the line.

I just hope he can stay healthy and help the Reds this year because he has good stuff.
