I took off the weekend, the last one I will have until the minor league season is over in late September. Here is how the prospects performed in games over the weekend:
Friday
- Zack Cozart went 1-2 with a walk and 2 runs.
- Daryl Jones went 0-1.
- Denis Phipps went 0-2.
- Chris Valaika went 0-1.
Saturday
- Brodie Greene went 0-1.
- Zack Cozart went 1-2.
- Billy Hamilton went 0-1 with a walk.
- Neftali Soto went 0-1 with a run.
- Henry Rodriguez went 1-1 with an RBI.
- Daryl Jones went 0-2.
- Felix Perez went 1-2 with a run.
- Danny Dorn went 1-2 with a 3 run HR.
- Denis Phipps went 1-2.
- Tucker Barnhart went 0-1.
- Nick Christiani threw a perfect inning of relief.
Sunday
- Zack Cozart went 2-4 with a double.
- Devin Mesoraco went 1-3 with a walk.
- Todd Frazier went 1-1.
Zack Cozart continues to crush the ball, hitting .452 this spring.
The Reds made more cuts over the weekend. Andrew Brackman, Denis Phipps and Chris Valaika were optioned to the minors. Carlos Fisher, Ron Mahay, Clayton Tanner, Kanekoa Texeira and Clay Zavada were reassigned to minor league camp. No real surprises there.
Tom Nichols has up his most recent Dayton Dragons Preview on DaytonDragons.com. This part of the series looks at potential outfielders.
The players he looks at are: Jefry Sierra, Yorman Rodriguez, Kyle Waldrop, Juan Silva, Bryson Smith, Steve Selsky, Brennan May and Jaren Matthews. Go give the article a read for a run down on all of the players.
I feel pretty confident that Silva and Waldrop will be there. Beyond them, I think it is pretty much a toss up to see who the other outfielders are.
