Does anyone have details on this particular type of Scott Rolen bat?

Here is a similar bat that lists it as a 2009 on the COA. My bat was brought with Rolen on his Reds trip to Washington this year.

There was a Rolen Mizuno at The Reds Team Store this past Friday. It did have mota stick on it. A very nice bat, it was priced at $200.00....

Thanks for that. This bat has Rolen's jersey number on it so I believe it came from him as I was told but also got this email saying Orlando Cabrera has used that exact bat:

Hey Andrew,

Just saw your post on GUU. Rolen has used that style of Mizuno for the past few years, along with LVS. When he first came over to the Reds last year, he used that style almost exclusively. So far this year, I've only seen him use LVS, though a couple of those Mizunos have popped up in the team shop recently with Orlando Cabrera characteristics. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Thanks,
Josh

Ocab has used Rolen's bats some this year, but this one does not seem to be one of them. Ocab loads his bats with pine tar, and you would see some major action on it much like his helmets.

I have the same model but it was used during his days in Toronto. I agree with AWA85, if it was used by Cabrera it would be loaded with pinetar.

I just bought a Cabrera bat last Friday at The Red Store.... tons of pine tar....

Here is a pic of the Cabrera along with my Rolen. Both came from the team store.....

Andrew,

The Mizuno I mentioned earlier did have his #27 on the ends.

Also, I have seen at the store in the past two months Rolen's Louisville bats for sale but his number was blacked out and another player's number was added.......

I've watched every game on tv this year. Rolen used these for a couple of games after the AS break I think, when he was slumping a bit. I saw 2 recently at the shop. One appeared to be used by Rolen, the other was used by Cabrera because it had the pine tar, taped handle, and 2 written beside the x'd out 27.

Thanks for all the feedback! Glad to know he was still carrying these around with him!
