Ryan Hanigan to the disabled list

It appears that catcher Ryan Hanigan has been placed on the 15-day disabled list (strained left oblique). Corky Miller has been spotted at Great American Ballpark this morning.

Mark Sheldon reports that Nick Masset (remember him?) will be placed on the 60-day DL to make room for Corky on the 40-man roster.

Also, interestingly, [...]

Is Nick Masset Done?

I know there are varying opinions around the Nation as to how good Nick Masset is/was, but the recent retirement of Brandon Webb got me thinking about shoulder injuries, and thinking about shoulder injuries seemed like a great reason to write a quick post instead of grading essays.

State of the (Redleg) Nation

The Man Behind the Ray-Bans

The Elias Sports Bureau says that Cincinnati’s 22 wins in 25 games is a hot streak of historic proportions, one that even Johnny, Tony, Joe & Pete never crafted, a run [...]

The Playoff Roster and Devin Mesoraco

Devin Mesoraco was optioned to AAA Louisville yesterday for relief pitcher J.J. Hoover. Unless he’s replacing an injured player, Mesoraco will have to stay in the minors for 10 days, which has fans questioning his availability on the Reds playoff roster.

Under Major League Rule 40 (a), the pool of players eligible for [...]
