Cuts…no real surprises

From MLB.com: The Reds now have 48 players in Major League camp. Prior to Thursday’s game against the Indians, the Reds optioned infielder Yonder Alonso and left-handed pitcher Bill Bray to Triple-A Louisville and optioned right-handed pitcher Jordan Smith and left-handed pitcher Philippe Valiquette to Double-A Carolina. The club also assigned right-handed pitcher Jon Adkins and outfielder Josh Anderson to Louisville. Question: Do Josh Anderson and Jon Adkins make the Louisville squad? Guess I am a little surprised that Jordan Smith was assigned to AA. He’s been there for about a year and a half, and from what I’ve noticed if you’re moved in minor league camp, it’s down, not up..so it would seem he’s going to be at AA. Maybe b/c they’re moving him to the bullpen?
