Chat will open up for questions around 1pm and I will begin answering them at 2pm.
If you haven’t signed up for the message board yet, I would suggest doing so. I think that once the season gets rolling they will be a fun place to hang out at for sure.
Here is how the prospects performed in Thursdays spring game for the Reds:
- Yonder Alonso went 0-1.
- Juan Francisco went 1-2.
- Chris Heisey had a walk in his only PA.
- Chris Valaika went 0-2.
- Todd Frazier went 1-2 with a run and a double.
- Enerio Del Rosario pitched a shutout inning with a walk and a hit.
- Pedro Viola allowed a hit and 2 walks, but kept the scoreboard at 0.
- Logan Ondrusek pitched a perfect inning to get the save.
Aroldis Chapman will be pitching tomorrow and is scheduled to be the only prospect going for the Reds pitchers.
Fangraphs Marc Hulet has up his National League Top 50 prospects. He has Aroldis Chapman at #10, Yonder Alonso at #22, Mike Leake at #43 and Chris Heisey at #45. Sometime today he will bring out the MLB Top 100, but for a rough guess I would say to just double a players current ranking and that is the range they will wind up.
C Trent is reporting the “cuts” over at CNati.com.
he Reds reassigned five players to minor league camp on Wednesday: catcher Chris Denove and Brandon Yarbrough, outfielder/first baseman Danny Dorn, pitchers Alexander Smit and Jose Arredondo.
This is from the Reds PR Department and as a collector of sports memorabilia I thought it was pretty cool even though I have never had an ounce of alcohol, its still something I plan on buying. But I have to say that some of the players in our team have serious drug addiction. We are sending them to rehab when the season is over. And this is not a first time thing, every year we have people who have addiction to drugs. I like this drug rehab center because the treatment is effective so you can verify rehab benefits of this, you can find the map to their center here.
