CINCINNATI --

In addition to acquiring left-handed reliever Sean Marshall in a trade with the Cubs on Friday, the Reds claimed right-handed reliever Josh Judy off waivers from the Indians.

A rookie last season with Cleveland, Judy posted a 7.07 ERA in 14 innings over 12 games in the big leagues. He was designated for assignment last week.

"We had very good reports from three of our top scouts, and we like his arm," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "He's a guy that will fit in to the bullpen mix. He has options, so he would give us depth with our pitching staff at Louisville if he doesn't make the club."

Saw Luna play last summer in Pawtucket. Slimmed down quite a bit from his real fat days. Still enough there to grab a paycheck in the minors.

The Phillies announced they've signed infielder Hector Luna and outfielder Luis Montanez to minor league contracts with invitations to Spring Training. Luna has seen seen Major League action with the Cardinals, Indians, Blue Jays and Marlins, getting as many as 379 plate appearances with the Redbirds in 2006. Montanez appeared in 36 games with the Cubs in 2011.

We were right behind home plate (1B side), did you see us in that?

Upon further review, I saw you, and barely.

From 15-17 seconds in. It is a view, looking down at the field from up in the stands, look way down in front where we were. You were wearing a red jacket that day, you can see yourself from behind clapping with your hands over your head.

If you REALLY zoom in you can see my balding head in front of you, lol!!

Frustratingly, right after that they show a view from the field, looking up and you can see where the screen ends. Just a couple people over from where we were.

If you remember, by the end of the game, I had taken off the jacket, and exchanged my long-sleeved shirt for a white one I purchased at the Team Shop. I do see someone who might be a woman in a red sweater, standing almost in the aisle, and making almost a Y with her hands above her head. But if you look 4 or five seats to the right, you can see what might be me in said white shirt, standing. I don't see you in your green shirt, or Anna, however. Maybe you were still sitting?

Also, remember that we had contemplated moving behind that screen earlier in the game to avoid getting hit by a foul tip, but we stayed put. Otherwise we would have been clearly visible in the shot from the field.
