Welcome back Gonzo; I hope his son is better...
sorry we're boring
From Trent's blog...
From the Reds: "Today the Reds reinstated from the bereavement list SS Alex Gonzalez, designated for assignment IF Enrique Cruz and sent to GonLouisville on a rehabilitation assignment RHP Jared Burton (strained left hamstring)".
I'm just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and 4,000 hits."
-Pete Rose
That's a shame.
Impress in spring training, make your major league debut, get designated for assignment.
I guess he was out of options.
Makes all the routine posts.
I'd expect him to clear waviers. He was playing at AA and the year he spent in the bigs was as a rule 5 pick so, unfortunately, it probably retarded his learning curve.
Unless someone else is desparate for a AA SS, I think he stays with us.
Rem
Cruz played 60 games with Milwaukee in 2003 as a Rule V player, hitting .085.
He waited four years to get back to the Show, and booted the first and only ball hit to him. You gotta feel bad for that...

Did You Know:
Enrique Cruz was drafted in the 13th round by the Reds in 2002 (but did not sign until he was drafted by the Yankees in the 14th round in 2003).
"It's easier to give up. I'm not a very vocal player. I lead by example. I take the attitude that I've got to go out and do it. Because of who I am, I've got to give everything I've got to come back."
-Ken Griffey Jr.
Theoretically I believe they could start his rehab the day he went on the DL. He just can't be on Cincinnati's active roster for 15 days.
Is it 30 days that he can stay down in AAA before they have to make a move with him?
30 for pitchers, 20 for position players I believe.
