Dayton, Ohio-The Dayton Dragons announced the following roster moves today:

Outfielder Andrew Means has been assigned to Dayton from the Cincinnati Reds extended spring training camp in Sarasota, Florida.

Outfielder Tyler Stovall has been sent from Dayton to extended spring training.

Means, a product of Avon Lake High School (Loraine, Ohio) and Indiana University, is in his second season in the Reds organization after being selected in the 11th round of the 2008 draft. A two-sport star in college, Means has not played in an official game this season as he concentrated on preparing for the National Football League draft in April. After not being selected in the draft, Means reported to extended spring training with the Reds. He also participated in a portion of spring training in March.

Means played in 22 games at Billings (Reds Rookie-level affiliate in the Pioneer League) in 2008, batting .231 with three home runs, 16 runs batted in, and six stolen bases. At Indiana University in the spring of 2008, Means batted .357 with two homers, 32 RBI, and 33 stolen bases. He led the Big Ten Conference in runs scored and was third in stolen bases.

Means was a starting wide receiver at I.U. and caught 102 passes for 1,272 yards during his college career. He declared for the 2009 NFL Draft following his junior year at Indiana. Means helped Avon Lake to the football state championship and 15-0 record as a junior in 2004.

Stovall appeared in 18 games for the Dragons and batted .164 with one homer and four runs batted in. He is a native of Loveland, Ohio.

The Dragons roster remains at the Midwest League limit of 25 players.
