Listening to Dusty on the pre-game now, they are indeed concerned about Arroyo, he is being sent to see the arm docs and for an MRI, and no decisions have been made as of when they taped that interview...

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

He's going to go on the DL.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Heisey drops down a bunt single to begin the game. He went 3-for-3 last night and is already 1-for-1 today.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Valaika grounded into a double play and Francisco popped out. No score after a 1/2 inning.

Is Taveras going to be ready to play Monday?

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Most likely. Supposedly his injury wasn't too serious.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Votto doubles in a run. 1-0 Reds.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Thom B talking about talking to Terry Reynolds who was effusive in his praise for Dallas Buck from last night.

Only thing is, Thom seems to think the Reds drafted Dallas Buck, rather than acquire him from Arizona.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Votto's double was off the wall in left center, btw.

1-0 Reds after one inning.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Now Thom is correcting himself, noting that Buck was likely the best prospect in the Dunn deal...

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

He said they acquired Buck in the Dunn trade.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Alonso flies out to the wall in RF, just missing a homer. BTW, Katie from 1530 is blogging live from the ballpark.

Frazier singles.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Took him awhile. That's not where he started out. He corrected himself. Per my post above.

Re: Saturday 4/4/09 Reds vs Reds Future Stars in Dayton
 

Soto singled but Stubbs broke his bat and grounded into a DP. 1-0 Reds after 1 1/2.
