--OF Norris Hopper, on the DL most of the season with a sore right elbow that has bothered him since early May, will undergo Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery Tuesday and is out for the season.

--RF Ken Griffey Jr. homered in the first inning, giving him 5,001 career total bases, 18th on the all-time list.

--INF Jeff Keppinger has made 42 starts at shortstop, one of five players to start at shortstop this year (Jerry Hairston Jr. 27, Paul Janish 13, Jolbert Cabrera 4, Juan Castro 2).

--2B Brandon Phillips has not made an error in 75 games and has made only one error all season while playing spectacularly.

--C Paul Bako was hitting .300 the first three weeks of the season, but is 2-for-25, dropping his recent average from .242 to .220.

BY THE NUMBERS
.244 -- Team batting average at the season's halfway point, next to last in the National League.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We're pretty low in every hitting category and we just have to start hitting. We strike out too much, way too much (527 the first half)." -- Manager Dusty Baker, noting that no Reds player is on pace for 100 RBIs this season but six are on pace to strike out more than 100 times.

"RHP Edinson Volquez (Tommy John elbow surgery in August 2009) is way ahead of schedule. He is hoping to return by July 2010."

I read a blurb in SI that the Reds are interested in obtaining Blue Jays SS Marco Scutaro, with no further info given.

Has anybody else heard of this rumor and if it's true, what should they be willing to

Doesn anyone know when the Reds check into their AZ spring home yet? I know the series isn't even over yet but I just get excited for some odd reason. I guess its because its been about 7 months since the Reds were in contention for anything important. Seriously, if any of you know this, it will be greatly appreciatted.

may be on the line according to a Chicago Tribune writer.  If you go to mlbtraderumors.com and click on the Reds rumors there is a short article saying Castellini may be eyeing the combo of LaRussa and Dave Duncan. I know Duncan is unhappy with the Cards for dealing away his son.  Would love to have him in Cincy.

The news says that the Cardinals will have a press conference this afternoon, presumably to announce Tony LaRussa's re-signing as manager of the team, and possibly to announce Mark McGwire will join the coaching staff as a hitting coach, replacing ex-Red and Royal Hal McRae.

I suppose this dispells any discussion /hope

I don't really follow the Reds much. But as a Jays fan we need a closer and I was wondering if the Reds were thinking of keeping Cordero, even though he will turn 35 and is getting paid 11,5million a year.

He had a good year this year and was an all-star so I would like to know if the Reds faithful think they will keep him

Here's an article I put out about some Reds' prospects/minor leaguers in the Winter Dominican League. Of course, Kevin Barker, minor-league extraordinaire, is killing it so far. Even if you think the article sucks, you have to like the link to Jose Lima's ex-wife at the end ...(more)

For what it's worth (virtually nothing), Heisey is playing really well. Ondrusek and Watson are stinking it up thus far. It seems like a hitter's league, however, as all the team's carry high averages. Or maybe that's just an excuse for our prospects to stink it up.

Reds president of baseball operations and general manager Walt Jocketty did not set a strict timetable to hire a new Major League pitching coach when he spoke about the topic on Monday from organizational meetings at Cincinnati's new complex in Goodyear, Ariz.

"We want to get it done sooner than later," Jocketty said. & ...(more)

(POLL) Given the outlook at the beginning of the season for this Reds team, how do you think we did as a team. I know that we were all excited at the first half of the year as the Reds surged into first place for a few games and are all extremely disappointed at the way they fell apart in the second half, but given your expectations at the beginni ...(more)
