We know Hariston's gone. Let's assume EE is too. Obviously their replacements are not going to get in town by 7:00. With Hanigan still banged up, by my calculations that leaves the Reds with 2 extra position guys tonight. Plus they need to make room for Lehr, unless maybe he just takes Hariston's spot tonight...I have tix for tonight's game and have a feeling we'll be seeing Harang or someone end up in RF by the time the night is over!

If the Latin Love Machine can actually get some starts @ 3B, why not Harang in RF?Originally Posted by LawFive
I assume Lehr takes Roenicke's spot. Wasn't he back on the ML roster? I'm guessing Balentien gets his first start.

Rolen is out in Oakland. He might make in for Saturday.

Balentein and Lehr are on roster, but the 3 traded guys still are. I think Balentein starts toinght

With Hairston, Encarnacion, and Roenicke gone, that opens up three spots on the roster. Lehr and Wells will fill two of them tonight, and Rolen will likely be here tomorrow. So the Reds will have 24 active players tonight--12 pitchers and 12 position players. However, two of those position players are Hanigan (who has missed the last six games) and Taveras (who sat out yesterday). I don't know what their status might be. Arroyo may have to be available to PH, and Cueto might even PR--if needed.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Hanigan's in the lineup tonight.
