Seems like Dumatrait is having a nice spring

Yep, same goes for Brad Salmon. Every time I read one of these reports it seems like Salmon is always throwing a 1-2-3 inning.

Why was Hatteberg playing in a AAA game? Any reason for that?

[KoryMac5]

He was out with a sore groin for a few games, Reds probably wanted him to get some AB's in.

Here's a spot for Bellhorn to do some damage, see. More wins for our pitchers= better trade value.
