With Opening Day a little more than five weeks away, the Reds' roster is taking shape.

PROJECTED LINEUP
1. CF Drew Stubbs
2. SS Orlando Cabrera
3. 1B Joey Votto
4. 2B Brandon Phillips
5. 3B Scott Rolen
6. RF Jay Bruce
7. C Ramon Hernandez
8. LF Chris Dickerson

There probably will be some type of platoon in left field. Phillips is not a prototypical cleanup hitter, but it worked well late last season with Rolen hitting fifth and Phillips fourth.

PROJECTED RESERVES
INF Aaron Miles
C Ryan Hanigan
OF Laynce Nix
OF Jonny Gomes
INF Paul Janish
OF Wladimir Balentien

The bench isn't particularly strong, but RHP Micah Owings — a career .300 hitter with eight homers and 31 RBIs in 170 at-bats — will be used as a pinch hitter, if he's on the roster.
