The Cincinnati Reds have re-assigned Scott Sauerbeck and Alvin Colina to the teams minor league camp where they will get some more work.  Sauerbeck reall needs some help as he sucked it up all spring.  Ten earned runs and eight walks in five innings will not get you on a big league roster!

The Cincinnati Reds have signed two former Chicago Cubs players that played under manager Dusty Baker.  Centerfielder Corey Patterson and utility player Jerry Hairston Jr. have both signed minor league contracts with an invitation to spring training with the Reds.

Patterson had played the last few seasons with the Balitmore Orioles after he was traded there from the Chicago Cubs.  Patterson who was once thought to be a five tool player has never really got it going at the plate in his career.  He is a good defender however, and can provide the Reds with some depth.

Hairston played with the San Diego Padres last and was mostly used as a utility player.  He can play in the outfield as well as the infield.  He is a decent player, but isn’t going to put many numbers up in the stats column.
