| Cincinnati Reds News: |
| CINCINNATI -- Dusty Baker filled out his Reds coaching staff on Tuesday by naming Chris Speier as bench coach and Juan Lopez as bullpen coach.
Both coaches previously worked for Baker's former teams. On Oct. 18, Baker retained four holdover coaches from the staffs of previous managers Jerry Narron and Pete Mackanin. Third-base coach Mark Berry, first-base coach Billy Hatcher, hitting coach Brook Jacoby and pitching coach Dick Pole are all returning in 2008. Speier replaces Pat Kelly, who was re-assigned to his previous post as manager of the Reds Gulf Coast League team in Sarasota. Kelly joined the big league staff with Mackanin on July 3 after Narron and bench coach Bucky Dent were let go. The 57-year-old Speier will also handle duties as the infield coach. A Major League infielder from 1971-89, mostly with the Giants and Expos, he was a three-time All-Star at shortstop. Immediately after his playing career ended, Speier started coaching as a roving Minor League instructor with the Giants. He moved to big league coaching with the Diamondbacks from 1996-99, the Brewers in 2000 and back with Arizona for its World Series championship season in 2001. Speier was bench coach for the A's in 2004. From 2005-06, Speier was third-base coach for Baker in Chicago. His son, Justin Speier, is a reliever for the Angels. Lopez, who replaced longtime coach Tom Hume, was the Cubs' bullpen coach for Baker from 2003-06. He spent 13 years coaching in the Giants organization, including seven at the big league level from 1996-2002 in San Francisco with Baker. |

| More Cincinnati Reds News: |
| It was not announced when the next round of cuts would take place, though O'Brien certainly isn't looking forward to that day, either.
"Any time you have to deliver the news that an individual, in the short-term, is not going to achieve his goal of a Major League job, it's always a significant letdown," O'Brien said. But it's an annual rite of spring, where jobs are always on the line and names are written in easily erasable chalk. As expected, right-hander Paul Wilson has been given the nod to be the Reds' Opening Day starter on April 4 against the Mets. "Tentatively, that's the plan," Miley said. That "tentative" plan also calls for left-hander Eric Milton to be the No. 2 man and right-hander Ramon Ortiz to fill the No. 3 spot. Wilson earned the Opening Day start with his performance for the Reds in '04, during which he went 11-6 with a 4.36 ERA in 29 starts. "He pitched well for us," Miley said. Cincinnati Reds tickets. If Machado's injury is deemed serious, the Reds have other more experienced options to share the position in Luis Lopez and D'Angelo Jimenez, but will certainly be taking a closer look at infielders William Bergolla and Ray Olmedo this spring. Bergolla, a 22-year-old infielder who was a 2004 Southern League All-Star after hitting .283 with four home runs, 26 doubles, 38 RBIs and 36 steals for Chattanooga last season, hit .281 in 19 games with Caracas. Although he's primarily considered a second baseman, he has the ability to play both middle infield positions and if the Reds opt to play Jimenez more at shortstop, Begolla could give them another option at second. |
