Phil Dumatrait promoted to Louisville

Directly from Marc Lancasters blog:
HOUSTON -- Big move coming in the farm system tomorrow. Phil Dumatrait is being promoted from Chattanooga to Louisville to make his Class AAA debut tomorrow night against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The lefty was 3-4 with a 3.62 ERA in 10 starts for the Lookouts. It's not out of the realm of possibility that he might make it all the way up by the end of the year. He seems to be the most advanced of the Reds' few pitching prospects.

This is real good news. Phil probably should have started off the season in Louisville anyways. Question now arises, what happens in Chattanooga with their rotation? They have Travis Chick, Josh Hall, Steve Kelly and Tyler Pelland....who takes that last spot? Does Edward Valdez get more starts this year after going to the bullpen? Does someone get the callup from Sarasota or demoted from Louisville? We will find out sometime over the next 5 games wont we?
