3 southpaws!

Webb bouncing back from injury might be interesting this year. Wood's still young, but his fall from grace has been dramatic. Maloney, eh...

If one of these 3 turns into something useful for the Reds, I'll be kinda surprised. The system is very thin in quality portsiders.

There may be a rain delay with the start of the Louisville and/or Dayton games, but I expect the games to get in. The rain should move out later on tonight early enough to allow the games to start at some point, even if may not be until 8 or 9.

Re: Friday 4/10/09 Minor League updates
 

What about the Reds game? You think they'll get it in? I hope so. I'm looking forward to seeing Cueto pitch.

Re: Friday 4/10/09 Minor League updates
 

They should get it in, though there may be a delay to the start of the game or early in the game depending on what moves in or pops up. I'm thinking about heading down to GABP, albeit a little later. The forecast is calling for rain around 7-8pm, but then has the rain starting to move out by 9pm or so.

Thanks Cyclone!

I may go bowling to kill some time before the game begins.

Louisville lineup:

Norris Hopper, RF
Drew Stubbs, CF
Chris Valaika, SS
Kevin Barker, 1B
Jonny Gomes, DH
Adam Rosales, 3B
Wes Bankston, LF
Wilkin Castillo, C
Danny Richar, 2B

Matt Maloney, LHP

Where is Danny Dorn? He should be playing over Kevin Barker. Barker isn't a prospect. He's a nice guy to have around but he shouldn't start over Dorn. Nor should Norris Hopper.

Unless Byron Wiley is injured, he should start every night. He's arguably the best position player on the roster.

Re: Friday 4/10/09 Minor League updates
 

Travis Wood hit a three run double. Nice. Mudcats up 3-0 in top of 2nd.

Re: Friday 4/10/09 Minor League updates
 

Travis Wood just hit a 3-run double to give Carolina a 3-0 lead!

Re: Friday 4/10/09 Minor League updates
 

Travis Wood walked a fine line with a runner on that inning but got back to back strikeouts to strand him at third.
