One of the biggest spring questions is the health of Scott Rolen, who was spotted at 8:30 am Phoenix time.
Rolen, 37, played in just 65 games last season He hit just .242 with five home runs and 36 RBI. His absence
left a big hole in the Reds lineup, forcing Dusty Baker to use Brandon Phillips in the cleanup role behind Joey Votto for much of the season.
Rolen had surgery on his left shoulder on August 3rd to remove bone spurs. He was shut down for the rest of the season.
Reds media relations director, Rob Butcher, told the press that Rolen will be busy for the next two hours.
Position players are undergoing physical examinations. Rolen, Joey Votto and Miguel Cairo were the last position players to report for today's deadline.
