Johnny Cueto vs. Ross Ohlendorf. That's all the analysis you get. Isn't it about time for these Spring Training games to be over?
No EdE in the lineup again. Might as well put him on the DL now so that he can start getting work in the minor league camp when he's healthy enough to play. That way his DL stint can be retroactive to last Saturday instead of whenever he gets put into a game to play DH again.
See the lineups after the jump.
Game time is 1:05pm. The Reds are on the radio today, or you can check them out on Gameday.

I'm not sure
how bad EdE is hurting. He is DHing in a minor game. Hopefully he is almost ready. If not,it probably is a good idea to hold him out of the big legue games to shorten his time on the DL.
I'm actually going to listen to this game today
just because I want to hear how much better Mercker will be than Brantley

Mercker mentions that you can’t tell what pitch is being thrown from the press box. I’m gonna love calling bullshit on Brantley about a billion times this season.

What is the record for a team...
For times getting picked off, thrown out stealing, stretching base hits or taking the extra base in a spring training? The Reds must be nearing that by now.

Thom mentioned that Janish had been working out in the weight room
to try to get stronger to hit better, also hinting that he could be on his way north. If he can start hitting, he’s the best choice at SS.

I think all the weight work slowed him down a tad...

i will take that glove
for me he doesnt even have to hit all that much as long as the rest of the team is producing
I'd agree with you
but he can’t be hitting under .200 like he was last year. If Dusty wants to bat him 8th and he can hit .250 or .260, I’d take it over Keppinger.

I would love to see Janish get a shot
I kinda think he’ll probably end up in Louisville, though.

turned on the game online
and had to suffer four seconds of that blowhard $#@! on AM radio that is the leader of a certain segment of american society. ugh. guess the game’s blacked out. now i’m listening to a static filled broadcast from a walkman radio – the static is caused by the wifi. glad to hear mercker, though. would be great if he’d replace brantley.
I wonder if Andyfan will get into this game
He played a couple of innings for the first time in three weeks yesterday.
Poor guy has the worst luck. He was considered a lock to make the roster before back problems sidelined him. Now he’s likely to start the season in Indianapolis.

EdE would've made that play, too..
No throw required.

Ross Ohlendorf
was one of the guys the Yankees got for Randy Johnson. They wanted Micah Owings, but the D-backs wouldn’t part with him. They got Ohlendorf instead.
Ohlendorf was told Saturday that’s he’s won a spot in the rotation. Former Yankee Jeff Karstens may win the fifth spot.

Uh, boy

HAVOC...your everyday solution to clogged bases
um, no
it was double followed by to fly outs that scored the run.

Poor Jay really didn’t come out well on that question
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
And he left out Bubba Crosby
Even though he needed a center fielder.

that’s a dumb mistake only Jay and thirty other GMs would make.

not so much that I'd ignore Rosales clearly better hitting stats from the minors
I see Rosales as more defensively versatile and a much better hitter. Either player is going to be a bench guy, no more, so it probably doesn’t matter, but I hope the Reds don’t make the decision based solely on 50 spring PAs.

I'd like to see
a really solid defensive guy at SS, at least off the bench. Cherry and Kepp don’t cut it.

kepp will be gone soon
we need to make room on the 40 man for gomes, so we’re gonna trade kepp for some Bread $ox minor leaguers.

bread is another name for money, you know

But isn't the $ in Sox then redundant?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
so what if it is
and maybe not. i don’t think one dollar sign accurately reflects the amount they spend on their roster.
How many do the yankees get, then?

yeah, but I doubt they'll keep a 4th shortstop
I realize that Janish should be the defensive replacement, but if Gonzalez is starting, then I doubt Janish replaces him and I doubt the Reds keep a defensive replacement around just for days when Gonzalez needs a day off. Now, if Gonzalez starts the year on the DL (hasn’t played since last Monday), I’d definitely take Janish. But if Gonzalez is healthy, I think the bench is better with Rosales on it.

I hope this offensive malaise is about...
the endless tedium of a longer than usual spring training, and not about real offensive ineptitude. And I know it’s ST, but:
Reds 30th of 30 in average (.239 v. median .284)
29th of 30 in OBP (.298 v. .348 median)
28th of 30 in SLG (.388 v. .444 median)
