Well, the Reds are only 5 games into the season, but the performance of Mike Lincoln has to be concerning thus far. Lincoln had a very good first half last season (3.89 ERA) and very poor second half last season (5.47 ERA), but the Reds decided to give Lincoln a 2 year/$4 million dollar contract hoping that Lincoln would revert to his 1st half form. However, the signs don't look too good so far.Cincinnati RedsPitchersIP H RERBBSOHRPC-STERAJ Cueto (L, 0-1)6.0844191109-666.00D Herrera1.011113029-1610.80J Burton1.000000016-83.86M Lincoln1.035530230-1434.71
And by the way, Mike Lincoln has a 5.14 WHIP so far this season. Not a good start. Again, it's early, but concerning nonetheless.
The Reds will need solid production from their bullpen this season if they are going to be the surprise team in the National League this season. With that said, how concerned should the Reds be about Lincoln?
