Spring Game 32 Thread: Reds at Astros

Sorry about the lack of posting this morning. I'm getting burnt out on Spring Training and I had more pressing matters for my real job. We'll try to avoid any such gaps during the season, though I'm sure they'll happen from time to time.
Today's lineup looks like a set of last chances to prove yourself. Homer Bailey is on the mound, but I think it's pretty clear that he's going to Louisville to start the season. He's had a good run, but he's squeezed out by the fact that the Reds have a full rotation for once.
Darnell McDonald and Laynce Nix appear to be competing to get the 5th outfielder spot. I have a feeling that Nix has the upperhand mainly because he bats from the wrong side of the plate. I'm not sure either is a difference maker on this team, but you never know what can happen when injuries start to pop up.
Of course, there's always the chance that Jerry Hairston Jr. will be cast as an outfielder and we'll see both Adam Rosales and Paul Janish make the squad. I would guess that only one will make it at this point, and both have a decent case. Janish is the superior glove at a position that requires some defense - especially if Gonzalez is still gimpy, which looks likely at this point. Rosales is the better hitter on a team that could use some offensive help. I won't be surprised by whomever gets picked by Baker.
The Reds face off against Roy Oswalt this afternoon. I'm not sure if they've ever faced him before. Can anyone remember if Oswalt has pitched against the Reds in his career?
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.

Question for Slyde
How do you get the official “regular season looking” lineups to display in the spring training game threads?
by HighLeveragePerformer on Apr 1, 2009 1:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
copy and paste the table from HTML view
and then fill in the boxes from the WYSIWYG view.

when you copy, make sure you copy all of the surrounding DIV tags as well
they are what handle all of the fancy formatting.

wouldn’t Owings get more at-bats if he was a starter, rather than in the pen? Relief pitchers don’t get to hit much.

Correctamundo!
If it’s a tossup between which guy gets the rotation slot, then it makes sense to give it to Owings to allow him 2.5 AB per game, plus perhaps 3 PA’s between starts.
But if Arroyo and Bray aren’t ready to go, I think Masset is the long man, HBVOC is the rotation, and Lefty Smurf is the 2nd LOOGY.
