Reds roster crunch may claim unexpected victim before Opening Day

Opening Day is little more than a week away, and Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona will have to make some difficult decisions in the coming days. The toughest choice, however, could cost one Reds player his spot on the team's 40-man roster.

There are 37 players remaining in Major League camp. Five of those players (Hagen Danner, Will Banfield, P.J. Higgins, Nathaniel Lowe, and Garrett Hampson) are not part of the 40-man roster. Banfield, Higgins, and Hampson have already been informed that they won't be part of the Reds Opening Day roster, but both Danner and Lowe have great chance to break camp with the team.
