Valiquette showed a strong arm in Goodyear last year during spring training but needed work on his command. He was 4-1 with five saves in 54 games with a 4.15 ERA at Carolina and Louisville last season.
Mesoraco was the Reds first pick out of Puxatawny High School in 2007. He hit .302 with 26 home runs and 75 RBI in his three stops in the Reds chain. He played at Lynchburg, Carolina and Louisville last season. In his Louisville debut he belted a walk-off grand slam and followed that up with a grand slam in his first at bat in the very next game.
