The Reds will invite former top draft picks Mike Leake and Devin Mesoraco will report to major league camp when pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 18, the team announced on Thursday.

Among the other non-roster invitees to major league camp are pitchers Justin Lehr and Alexander Smit, catchers Wilkin Castillo, Corky Miller, Chris Denove and Brandon Yarbrough.

Reds position players will report Feb. 23 and will work out that same day, following physicals. Non-roster invitees to big league camp are infielders Chris Burke, Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier, and outfielders Josh Anderson and Laynce Nix.

The Reds are scheduled to begin camp with 53 players, the fewest they've had since 51 in 1998. Last season the team invited 63 players to big league camp.

    Too early for Opening Day roster guesses? Nah:

    C Ramon Hernandez
    1B Joey Votto
    2B Brandon Phillips
    3B Scott Rolen
    SS Paul Janish
    LF Chris Dickerson
    CF Drew Stubbs
    RF Jay Bruce

    Bench
    C Ryan Hanigan
    OF Laynce Nix
    OF Willy Taveras (ugh)
    INF Adam Rosales
    INF Chris Burke

    Rotation
    SP Aaron Harang
    SP Bronson Arroyo
    SP Johnny Cueto
    SP Homer Bailey
    SP Micah Owings

    Bullpen
    RHP Jared Burton
    RHP Carlos Fisher
    LHP Danny Ray Herrera
    RHP Mike Lincoln
    RHP Nick Masset
    LHP Arthur Rhodes
    CL Francisco Cordero

    Here's hoping Taveras is cut and Josh Anderson takes his place; also could toss in Bray for Fisher, but doubt it.
