And after that whole 1/3rd of a season in the minors he was switched right back to 1st base. All we really know is that he probably wouldn't spike himself out there. Just because he might be better doesn't mean he would be acceptable.
How well Alonso will play 1st base in the majors at this point is nothing more then educated guesswork.
