MEET SARASOTA’S ROSTER: Caceres hadn’t decided on an opening batting order for tonight during Wednesday’s Meet the Reds Luncheon at Scallini’s Restaurant in the Hyatt Sarasota, but he did provide a lineup – LHP Phil Dumatrait, C Miguel Perez, 1B Joey Votto, 2B Luis Bolivar, SS Hector Tiburcio, 3B Mark Schramek, LF Jeremiah Piepkorn, CF Chris Dickerson, RF Junior Ruiz. Also, there’s C Evan Conley – of Manatee High in Bradenton – C Jeff Urgelles, INF Will Hudson, INF Jorge Mejia, OF Javon Moran, OF Walter Olmstead, RHP Bobby Basham, RHP Kyle Edens, RHP Carlos Guevara, RHP Josh Hall, RHP Eric Lohse, RHP Calvin Medlock, LHP Charles Oneal, LHP Tyler Pelland, RHP Joe Powers, RHP David Shafer, RHP Brock Till.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Caceres says Cincinnati has a speedy ballclub for its debut season in Sarasota and a particularly strong defense. Pitching is also expected to be a main strength and the offense has some solid bats. “We’re pretty balanced,” Caceres said. “It’s tough to predict, but we have some good, solid players.”

Bailey named the 8th best NL Central prospect. Brewers had 5 of the top 10. Cardinals 0.

8. Homer Bailey, P, Reds

Bailey was selected just two picks behind Mark Rogers in last year's draft (seventh overall) and has demonstrated much of the same type of potential despite being set back by a few minor injury problems. Bailey is far more polished than most high school pitchers and has the potential to move through the minors in just a couple of years. He made only a brief pro debut after signing last summer and will be headed to Low-A Dayton to start out this season. Bailey could reach Double-A by the end of 2005, and he should join the Reds no later than mid 2007.

Has Acevedo pitched yet?

I think he is still pitching. 1 run thru 6 so far.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Interesting. Hopefully that's a sign that he can get his act together down there and maybe be called up to our pen if we need to replace someone such as Weathers.

[redsrbetter]

good call CRF. But Ricky Stone is now coming in the game for him as he gave up his second run. Bats up 3-2.

[redsrbetter]

Nevermind I guess it was Jeroime Roberts in the seventh at least. Not sure if Acevedo started or not. I doubt it though because they both should be in the rotation.

[redsrbetter]

Bergolla RBI basehit Bats up 4-2. Romano with a good game so far.
