Better be cautionary
I’m not real excited about seeing the all Baker lineup of CP, Hairston, and Bako
i guess CP is a better sub than Griffey
because Griffey is not as used to coming off the bench cold.

95 pitches is more not bad.

This could mean Bruce.
Unless they call up Janish, I could see Hairston as the starting SS and Freel getting time backing him up. Mind you, that would require a lack of Corey Patterson man-love, which isn’t likely, but maybe there will be a positive to come of this.
radio said janish has already been called up

Man... Volquez is having a terrific season
Its early, but I think we should be fairly happy to think we may have a solid rotation in the next few years if Cueto and Bailey can figure it out – and I think they will.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
