Some 24 year-old, third baseman, named Edwin Encarnacion (Rangers #9 – 2000) went 3 for 3 with a HR and 2 RBI. Since his demotion he is really struggling hitting just .413/.426/.674.  I would probably wait until he gets that SLG% up near .800 before I bring him back up. Sometimes I hate following this organization.
23 year-old, playing left field again, Joey Votto went 2 for 3 with a BB, a HR, and 4 RBI. He is hitting .293/.410/.473, and .403./.482/.611 in May.
24 year-old Carlos Fisher (Reds #11 – 2005) tossed 6 innings givin up 0 ER, 4 H and 2 BB while striking out 8. In his 3rd start since his promotion he has a 1.50 ERA with 23 Ks, 17 H, 5 BB in 18 IP.
24 year-old, DOTF Favorite Calvin Medlock (Reds #39 – 2002) gave up 3 ER, 4 H and a BB in 2.2 IP. Medlock struck out 4 and his ERA increased to 3.30.
24 year-old, first baseman, Adam Rosales (Reds #12 – 2005) went 3 for 5 with 2 2B, 2 R, and 2 RBI. He is hitting .301/.407/.513

22 year-old Carson Kainer (Reds #14 – 2006) went 3 for 5 with a 3B, a HR, and 2 RBI. In 9 ABs this year he is hitting .556/.556/1.111. Kainer is the University of Texas two-time All Big 12 player who received a kidney transplant last September. Check the link to the Redlegnation entry back in November.
