I know that the fans never got to see the best of Kevin," Reds manager Bryan Price said, via the team's website. "We felt that in the six weeks that we had him in Spring Training that he was a guy who could pitch the eighth inning for us with his background as a setup man and a closer. "His stuff looked good, he had velocity and the split-finger and the breaking ball and it just never came to — even from, unfortunately, opening day with the two-run homer to tie the game," Price added.
