1) Big start tonight for Volquez... is it weird to say that on April 8th? His last spring outing was less than stellar (5 H, 3 BB, 3 R) and the Reds need him to pitch like he did in the first half last season to have any realistic shot of making noise in the NL Central.
Last April he was 4-0 with a 1.23 ERA in five starts. I'll take that again. He's also apparently starting to use Soul Glo in his hair this season, which can only help.
2) Willy Taveras out again with the flu...
Jerry
Hairston Jr. batting leadoff andplaying CF. Thankfully it's not that Darnell McDonald guy. "They're McDonald's... we're McDowell's."
3) Jonny Gomes accepted his assignment to Triple-A in lieu of becoming a free agent... I presume we'll see him on the big league club before too long. Could be an asset off the bench with some pop, despite a career OBP under .300.
