Mom always said if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.
24 year-old second baseman Drew Anderson (Reds #13 – 2004) continues his fantastic hitting going 3 for 4 with 2 RBI. It may seem like Anderson is the only hitter I care about at Chattanooga, he just happens to be the only one of prospect age that is hitting so far.
23 year-old starting pitcher Camilo Vasquez (Reds #4 – 2002) tossed a one-hit, six inning shutout in his 2007 debut. Vasquez recorded 3 Ks and 5 BB.
20 year-old right fielder Jay Bruce (Reds #1 – 2005) went 3 for 4 with a R.
