From: RJA on 13 May 2010 15:45 Moved to AAA Louisville after injuries to Dorn and Francisco. He'll be playing mostly LF. They said he catches everything hit to him. Not sure what that means. http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/2010/05/13/more-on-alonso-to-triple-a/

"Catches everything hit to him" doesn't sound like a compliment to me. dfs
From: john smith on 14 May 2010 13:16 Does anybody know the body type Alonzo has? Is he lanky? Does he "look" like an outfielder? You can always tell a good outfielder by the jumps he gets on the ball. You don't need a great arm to play LF. You just need to get good jumps and be able to charge the ball hard. Those two things will make any outfielder more than adequate. If Stubbs ever hits and that is a big if, he may be able to mask any deficiencies in the Reds LF position especially with Bruce in right. By the way that kid Hamilton is playing pretty well in Texas so far. Also that guy Keppinger wouldn't look too bad in a Reds uni right now. How's that Drew Sutton kid working out? Oh them little moves, how they have a way of coming back to bite you.....

He "looks" like a 1B. http://www.keeperleaguegm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/yonder-alonso-229x300.jpg |
