• Carson has been added to the Bengals' injury report as questionable with an elbow injury.
During the week, he experienced soreness and inflammation in his right elbow, which is his throwing elbow.
Marvin Lewis quote: "Carson has developed some carryover soreness from last week's game. He has told us he's going to be ready to play, but he is missing some practice reps today, so he has to be listed on the injury report."
Carson quote: "It was just a rest day. I'm completely confident in what we're doing. The doctors decided the best thing to do was to be rested and fully healthy for Sunday, and I'll be ready to roll on Sunday."
• Speaking of Carson, SI.Com's Dr. Z has a must-read about how 1988 quarterbacks stack up against their 2008 counterparts that includes a comparison of Boomer and Carson.
• Speculation already has started about who the Reds will go after during the offseason. Rangers catcher Gerald Laird would actually give them a decent bat at that position (it's been a while, and I don't think they necessarily want to just wait for Devin Mesoraco), and this Dallas Morning News article points out that the Reds scouted him before the trade deadline.
John Fay's notebook suggests Colorado's Matt Holliday and Detroit's Magglio Ordonez might be among candidates. He also points out that Philadelphia's Pat Burrell is the top free agent outfielder.
• Hopefully I'm not the only one who finds this item somewhat fascinating ...
Adam Pettyjohn will become the first left-handed pitcher to start a game for the Reds this season Sunday. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it will be the first time since at least 1900 that the Reds went an entire season with only one start by a left-hander. The 2006 Diamondbacks were the last team to finish a major league season with fewer than two starts by a lefty. Phil Dumatrait was the last left-hander to start for the Reds. It was 180 starts ago - Sept. 9 of last year.
• Good piece in the Plain Dealer about Jim Tressel taking over coaching the Buckeyes' offensive line.
