So who is going to make the Opening Day roster? Here’s what it’s looking like:
Starting pitchers:
Aaron Harang
Bronson Arroyo
Brandon Claussen
Eric Milton
Dave Williams
Relief pitchers:
Matt Belisle
Mike Burns
Todd Coffey
Chris Hammond
Kent Mercker
David Weathers
Rick White
Catchers:
Javier Valentin
David Ross
Infielders:
Scott Hatteberg
Ryan Freel
Felipe Lopez
Edwin Encarnacion
Rich Aurilia
tony womack
Outfielders:
Adam Dunn
Ken Griffey, Jr.
Austin Kearns
Chris Denorfia
Andy Abad
It isn’t the best 25-man roster the Reds could have put together, but other than having tony womack on the team, there isn’t much to argue about. It’s a team that should score some runs, with a pitching staff that has a chance to be average.
Let’s get it on.
UPDATE: Looks like the roster has been officially set.
So now that the season is starting, does womack remain our whipping boy or do we wish the best for him?
I see you’ve written tony in all lowercase. Does his name not deserve the uppercase letters that nouns like, say, “Anna Nicole Smith” or “NAMBLA” possess?
I didn’t think so either, by the way.
Another great move – send Brian Buchanan to minor camp. The guy led the team in every major hitting cat – played his butt off and they waltz. Here’s to Griffey breaking something in the first week of the season.
