The Reds' roster continues to dwindle closer to the mandatory 25-man limit it must be at by Monday. The team reassigned three more players on Saturday. Jim Brower, Jolbert Cabrera and Jerry Hairston Jr. are now out of the mix. That leaves the number at 28, but Mike Stanton has already been told he will be cut and catcher David Ross is likely to start the season on the disabled list which means one more pitcher will likely be moved.
Cabrera had the best spring of the bunch, hitting .296 while driving in 14 runs. Hairston was signed after camp broke, but the veteran played well in his limited as he also hit. 296 with 6 RBI's. Brower, who has played with the team in previous stint, was hoping to make it back at 35. He will have to get it done in Louisville now, and hope an opportunity arises.
Alll of these moves also are just another inidicator for how good the Reds' depth this season, particularly in the bullpen.
