Sean Casey joined Barry Larkin in the Reds training camp today. Eric Davis has been here all along.
Joe Morgan was in camp last week. The Reds have also invited former major leaguers, Tony Phillips and Ellis Burks to work with the Reds young players.
Casey will work with the Reds players all weekend, assuming he finishes introducing himself to everyone in time.
Dusty Baker likes having people that have been through the big leaugue mill around.
"Sometimes these guys can say the same things we tell them but it sinks in. Sometimes it helps having someone else say something," Baker said. "They might say one little thing that could jump start their career or help them figure things out."
Baker said mentors helped him in his career.
He was close to Hank Aaron.
"When I was with the Giants we had Willie Mays, Cepeda and McCovey, some bad dudes," Baker said "With the Dodgers, I could spend the day with Sandy Koufax, Newcombe or Roy Campanells. That was big"
