Milton set for Cincinnati debut

[bipster]

The pomp, circumstance and excitement of the Reds' Opening Day win has died down, and now it's time for the Reds and Mets to get down to business in the first of many "normal" days of the 2005 season.
For the Reds, Wednesday's game will be the showcase of their prize offseason catch.

Left-hander Eric Milton will make his first appearance with the Reds since signing a three-year, $25.5 million contract with the club in the offseason. His signing was the highlight of an offseason spending spree by the club, which boosted its payroll by $17 million.

Rest of the story

I expect tomorrow's game to be pretty similar to yesterday's game....only not quite as many runs. Definitely expect to see 3-4 homers in the game though. Best of luck Eric, keep us rollin along.

I think tomorrow could be another close game... perhaps a final of 4-3 or 5-4 in favor of one team.

Don't we all. Graves might actually have a decent year since it's a contract year for him.

Dunn absolutely owns Glavine. Dunn is 6-13 with 3 walks and 1 HR vs Glavine in his career. Maybe he will hit another HR? Casey has also hit him well...and Randa.

The lineup tomorrow night will be very interesting.

[redsrbetter]

I would put Pena in for Griffey thats for sure. We are facing a lefty and I wpuld start the trend now.

[CincyRedsFan30]

I would put Pena low in the order if he's in it.

I wouldnt mind seeing Pena in but I wouldnt be surprised if its the same lineup as Monday. Aurilia has decent numbers against Glavine. 13-39 with 1 HR and 5 RBI and 5 K. We will see what happens. I wouldnt mind seeing FeLo tomorrow but I bet Miley goes with those numbers by Aurilia.

I'm eager to see what Eric Milton can do. He was a good pitcher for the Phills hopefully he'll produce for us.
