The Cincinnati Enquirer has a little profile of one of our more popular outfield hopefuls, Bubba Crosby. Most of the stuff already appears in his human league profile, but there are a few additional tidbits.

I guess we'll have to stop talking about him now, because John Fay has joined the party.

John Fay has been the Reds beat writer for the Enquirer since 2001. Prior to that, he served in the variety of roles for the Enquirer: backup Reds writer, UC beat writer, backup Bengals writer and as a general assignment reporter. He is a Cincinnati native and a graduate Elder High School and the University of Dayton.

Check it out; you'll probably like it. I saw several paragraphs with more than one sentence, so I approve already.

Reporting from Reds spring training in sunny Sarasota Florida, Cincinnati Post reporter C. Trent sends surprising news about Adam Dunn. Everyone's favorite super-talented slacker has shown up two days ahead of time in good shape:

Dunn looks noticeably leaner, he said he's done more running and eating much better. New hitting coach Brook Jacoby visited him for about a month ago in Houston.

Dunn said he just wants to forget last season, when he 40 home runs, drove in 92 runs and scored 99 runs. He also hit .234, struck out a major league high 194 times and committed 13 errors.

“I’m trying to get that out of my head, first of all,” Dunn said. “I spent all offseason thinking about how hard the last two months of the season were for me; I was terrible. I don’t want that to happen to me again.”

There are plenty of Dunn fans out there who don't care that he walks to his position because he contributes 40 homers and .850 OPS. There are just as many Dunn fans disappointed because he does that stuff without seeming to really try, and just think what he could do if he'd apply himself.

I don't know about those people, but I get pretty excited to think that he's on the path to really apply himself this season. The guy's a freakin' tank. Plus, the photos of him are going to look that much better.

Trent tells us that Gary Majewski is still hurting:

The Reds reliever isn't ready to go 100 percent yet, still suffering from the inflammation of the right shoulder that bothered him since coming over from the Nationals last season.

OK, it's not his fault; it really isn't. But dang it all, it's just sickening. The Trade was painful enough without being constantly reminded that we got damaged goods in return.
