Spring Game Thread 3: Phillies at Reds

MLB Florida and Arizona Spring Training - SB Nation

 

Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies @ Cincinnati Reds

02/27/08 1:05 PM EDT

Philadelphia Phillies
Cincinnati Reds
Shane Victorino - CF
Willy Taveras - CF
Jason Donald - 3B
Jerry Hairston Jr. - SS
Raul Ibanez - LF
Joey Votto - 1B
Matt Stairs - DH
Juan Francisco - 3B
Greg Dobbs - 1B
Jonny Gomes- RF
Geoff Jenkins - RF
Chris Dickerson -LF
Pablo Ozuna - 2B
Jeff Keppinger-2B
Ozzie Chavez - SS
Ramon Hernandez - C
Lou Marson - C
Wes Bankston - DH

The pitching matchup today is Bronson Arroyo vs. right-hander Andrew Carpenter.  Carpenter is a young righty who has had some success in the minors, but probalby isn't quite ready for the big leagues yet. 

No home team audio again today, but the Phillies broadcast is supposedly available through MLB audio.  If you're not a subscriber, you can follow along on Gameday like the rest of us.  Game time is 1:05pm.

And for those that are wondering, Wes Bankston is 25-year old corner infielder/outfielder who spent most of his time in the Rays organization before getting an unimpressive cup of coffee with the A's last July (.203/.238/.305 in 63 plate appearances).

NOTE: from here on out, I'm not going to put up Spring Training game threads until 30 minutes before game time so that other stuff can get some viewing on the front page.
