Reese

        Someone said to Barry Larkin that the impending retirements of Baltimore's Cal Ripken Jr. and San Diego's Tony Gwynn mean Larkin is the major-league player with the most tenure with one team.

        Reds general manager Jim Bowden would not say if the Reds have been in contact with the Atlanta Braves about a Pokey Reese trade. Braves shortstop Rafael Furcal is out for the season with a dislocated shoulder.

        “I'm not going on specifics,” he said. “But, despite our record, a lot of teams are interested in our players.”

        NO LIGHTS: The Reds worked out at 7 p.m. Wednesday, but the lights at Cinergy Field were not turned on. The lights normally are on for games that start at 7:05, and several players commented on how dark it was in the batting cage.

        GRIFFEY BREAK: This is the first time since his rookie year that Ken Griffey Jr. has been idle during the All-Star break. Will the rest do him good?

        “We'll see. ... I've already been out two months,” he said of his time missed because of a torn hamstring.
