GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- In the battle for bench spots, two veterans -- utility player Ryan Raburn and outfielder Desmond Jennings -- have yet to get going offensively. But their spring numbers won't be the full weight in the final decision, especially in the case of Raburn.
"Ryan Raburn is exactly who he is," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Saturday. "I don't think spring numbers are going to be a barometer -- good or bad -- for the type of impact he has on a club. He's a kid that wouldn't probably carry a ton of starts over the course of a year.
