Bryan Anderson was promoted to Louisville, he was hitting - .343 - .427 - .643 in AA. The Louisville Bats were down to one catcher with the call-up of Barnhart and Ramirez going on the DL.
In a cascading effect:
C Chris Berset was promoted to AA.
And C David Vidal (former 3bman) was assigned to A+ Bakersfield from extended spring training. He was a catcher in highschool and JUCO.
RP Tony Amezcua was demoted to Billings.
OF Jon Matthews was demoted to Dayton.
C Julio Morillo was demoted to Billings.
OF Jesse Winker was activated from the disabled list.
and as previously noted Dan Langfield was assigned to A Dayton.

I've come upon some previously unannounced signing bonuses, I'll post them here and have them in the spreadsheet next time I post an update.
2013 Draft Picks: 11th round Ty Boyles - $100,000 12th round Shedric Long - $100,000 17th round Dalton Carter - $100,000 20th round Morgan Lofstrom - $100,000
2012 Draft Picks: 12th round Brent Peterson - $100,000 22nd round Avain Rachal - $100,000
2010 Draft Picks: 28th round Chad Rogers - $100,000
2009 Draft Picks: 11th round Jake Johnson - $150,000
*** The signing bonuses for 75 of the 113 players drafted and signed by the Reds (who are still in the system) have now been reported. It's believed that the remaining 38 all received less than $100,000.

Signed for 2014: OF Shelley Duncan and C Lou Marson
The soon to be 28 year old Marson has limited mlb action in each of the past six seasons (most of which came with the Indians). In 882 major league plate appearances he has hit .219 - .309 - .299. And he's thrown out 31% of would be base stealers. He was originally drafted by the Phillies in the 4th round of the 2004 draft and was later included in the Cliff Lee trade.
The 34 year old Duncan has seen limited mlb action in each of the past seven seasons (again most of which came with the Indians). In 997 major league plate appearances he has hit .226 - .305 - .419. He's played primarily LF whilst also scoring some games at 1B, DH, and RF. He was originally drafted by the Yankees in the 2nd round of the 2001 draft.

Released: LHRP Nick Schmidt -Nick was a disaster in 10 games for Louisville, allowing 30 baserunners in 14 innings. Will his release allow a good pitcher from Pensacola to move up and then have Ben Lively move to Pensacola?

David Holmberg was reinstated from the AAA DL to fill his roster spot.
