Reds still undefeated

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Spring Training - but still, 5-0 in Grapefruit League play makes you wonder just a little. I mean, Peter Gammons said on the first edition of Baseball Tonight that the Reds could be the surprise in the NL Central, so that has to say something doesn't it?

What was good?

• Josh Hamilton. Again. He was 1-1 with a walk, raising his spring average to .562 (9-16 with 2 BB, 1 HR, 2 2B, 3 RBI, and 4 R.)
• Brandon Phillips hit his third homer of the Spring.
• Bill "Better Be Good Since We Gave Up 1/4 Of Our Offense For Him" Bray, Mike "Two Year Deal" Stanton, Brian "Fellows" Meadows, and Kerry "I Was Good Once" Lightenberg combined for 4 innings of 1 unearned run baseball.
• Jerry Gil was 2-3 with a game tying homer. With Keppinger out 4-6 weeks with a broken finger, I'd rather have Gil make the team over Mark "No hit" McHellborn.
  
• The suicide squeeze is one of my favorite plays in baseball. When it scores the game winning run, it's even better. Chad "Third Catchers Give Me a Toothache" Moeller laid down the bunt.
  
• Our favorite Canadian Joey Votto was 1-1 with an RBI.
  

What was not?

• Paul Wilson probably blew his chances of making the rotation after giving up 5 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in 2.2 innings. I know it's early, but the guy was a long shot to make the rotation, and today's outing was a significant setback for him. On the plus side, he did strikeout 3, but in the first inning he was all over the place.
• Nothing else was really that bad.

No Reds on radio or internet tomorrow, gives me a chance to hear the Nats. Reds will be on MLB.TV on Wednesday versus the hated Yankees, so I'm looking forward to the chance to see them play.
