Who will be on the Reds 25-man roster?

[hook em horns]

As it stands right now I go with:

Catchers: Ramon Hernandez, Ryan Hanigan
Infielders: Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Alex Gonzalez, Edwin Encarnacion, Jeff Keppinger, Wilkin Castillo
Outfielders: Jerry Hairston, Wily Taveras, Jay Bruce, Johnny Gomes, Chris Dickerson
Starting Pitchers: Aaron Harang, Edinson Volquez, Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto, Micah Owings
Relief Pitchers: Francisco Cordero, Jared Burton, Arthur Rhodes, Bill Bray, Dave Weathers, Mike Lincoln, Homer Bailey

Notables missing: Norris Hopper (I think Castillo provides more versatility), Nick Masset (I like Bailey's potential over him), Paul Janish (has to improve hitting), Adam Rosales, Danny Herrera, Yonder Alonso

Any thoughts or changes?

Good story about Yonder Alonso, he thinks he'll compete for a roster spot.

I would probably replace Castillo with Hopper.....I know that leaves the infield a little short but Hairston can play just about anywhere.

To early to guess for me.

Yeah, lots of young players, too hard to guess. One thing I hope happens is they come with a sense of pride and urgency when playing. I went to a game in the middle of June last year. The game was slated to start at 12:35. Business day special. I was there at 11:30 standing by the dugout of the reds, thinking maybe a player would be signing autographs or at least preparing to get ready for the game. No red came out until 12:15 and it was Votto and Bruce. They stretched behind Second. at 12:20, Harang made his way from the dugout to the bullpen. Needless to say, they gave up 7 runs in the first two innings to the Dodgers. I know, I know, they probably stretch and get ready under the stadium, but nothing told me they were ready to play. Too many lazy veterans on that team last year. I look for them to be more fun to watch this year.
