Eight more players are now going to be crossing their fingers for injuries, now that they know they’ve been reassigned to minor league camp. Those unlucky fellows include:

• Yonder Alonso (1B) – I wonder who could be blocking this up-and-comer
• Zack Cozart (SS) – Paul Janish breathes a little easier
• Todd Frazier (IF/OF) – Shall I resort to “tossed salads and scrambled eggs”?
• Daniel Ray Herrera (LHP) – Aw, now who’s going to get lost in the scrub grasses outside the park?
• Jordan Smith (RHP) – Yeah.
• Carlos Fisher (RHP) – Double yeah.
• Jerry Gil (listed only as “pitcher” on Reds.com. Do we not know his handedness?)
• Kris Negron (IF) – See ya in June, kid.
