The bats: Barry Larkin and Ken Griffey Jr. made their spring debuts and went 0-for-2 in the game at Sarasota as the Reds managed only four singles. Jermaine Clark hit a home run in the game against the Twins.
The arms: Aaron Harang started the "A" game and pitched two innings of one-hit ball. Cory Lidle went two innings against the Twins. He allowed an unearned run on three hits.
The rest: The Reds did not look sharp in the field in the game at Sarasota. They committed four errors. D'Angelo Jimenez was the only starter to make one, however.
