3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
Per Marcs blog:
SARASOTA -- Aaron Boone, Eduardo Perez and Danny Graves are on the Indians' travel roster for today's game. Boonie already has ducked his head into the building to say hi to the Stowe family. Not making the trip: Anthony Castrovince. But that's OK, he's a busy guy. We understand.
One item of interest from the back fields yesterday: Five Chattanooga pitchers combined to no-hit the Pirates' Altoona farm club in a 3-1 Lookouts victory. On the mound for Chattanooga were Eddy Valdez, Mike Nannini, Erik Lohse, Carlos Guevara and Abe Woody. Their combined line: 9 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
Now, the starting lineups for Mike Vassallo's last day on the job:
Indians
Grady Sizemore CF
Ronnie Belliard 2B
Travis Hafner 1B
Victor Martinez C
Eduardo Perez RF
Todd Hollandsworth LF
Aaron Boone 3B
Ramon Vazquez SS
Cliff Lee P
Reds
Tony Womack 2B
Felipe Lopez SS
Ken Griffey Jr. CF
Adam Dunn LF
Edwin Encarnacion 3B
Scott Hatteberg 1B
Austin Kearns RF
Javier Valentin C
Brandon Claussen P
Nice work by the Lookout pitching staff
Re: 3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
Tony Womack leading off makes me want to cry. Except for Valentin and Claussen, I think this is our opening day lineup. Of course if Womack has a good series, maybe Dusty will want to trade for him. But I'm sure he'll have to pry him out of Narron's cold, dead hands. ;)

get used to it. That is the opening day lineup, minus Larue.
Re: 3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
OK, so the Lookouts No-Hit the Curve, but how did the Curve get a run?
9 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
How many errors, 0 Hits and 0 ER... Interesting.

I'm happy Kenny is hitting 3rd consistently now... he did a bang up job batting 3rd in the WBC.

it's the right spot for him in the Reds lineup. Now if they could get Womack out of the leadoff spot and into 8th if he has to play.

I can feel a SERP mission being formed.
We need commandos and Jeff Gulluly.
Re: 3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
Just chiming in on what others have said, but sub LaRue and Harang and that sure looks like what we'll see on the big board at Great American Ball Park at 2:10 thirteen days from now.
Re: 3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
Sans possibly the catcher spot, I think we're looking at our opening day lineup....
Re: 3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
Todays line up looks very close to what the opening day line up will be minus LaRue and Harang.

Tony Womack 2B
Felipe Lopez SS
Ken Griffey Jr. CF
Adam Dunn LF
Edwin Encarnacion 3B
Scott Hatteberg 1B

That's just sickening...
Re: 3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
Hey, guys...I think this will be the Opening Day lineup..minus LaRue and Harang, of course. :p:
Re: 3/21 Reds v Indians game thread & minor league notes
So they are puting Abe Woody in Chattanooga? Seems a little rushed, considering he will be going from Billings to AA in 1 season without ever sniffing Dayton or Sarasota.
