    Re: Yondor Alonso

    Have they signed him yet, are they getting closer if they have not signed him yet?

    Not yet, but every source agrees that he will sign before the August 15th deadline.

    While all money is part of the bottom line, I don't think the Reds being off the hook for Griffey's buyout has anything to do with Yonder signing. I imagine these budgets are completely independent of each other.

    I find it hard to believe that an organization that worries about $3M here and $4M there would pay Corey Patterson, Javy Valentin, and Dusty Baker $8M to be a part of this 2008 trainwreck.

    Where'd the Reds find $4 mil? They are saving $2m next year, nothing this year.

    Within the next eight months they owed Junior the rest of his salary for 2008 ($4M) and the buyout for 2009 ($4M).

    $8M total.

    Today, they are now only responsible for half of that ($4M).

    So, they have saved $4M.

    Good thing Miami lost early so we could get Alonso signed.

    Maybe they're not going to get him signed. Why else would they move Frazier to 1st Base. If Alonzo gets signed, he'll be on a fast-track to the Majors and will be reaching 1st Base for the REDS before Frazier.

    I hope they're not that stupid considering how much money they've wasted on Cordero, Baker, Patterson, etc.

    Everyone says he's going to sign. From Baseball America to people close to the Miami program, they all say he'll sign around the deadline.

    Everything is still at a standstill. Only three of the first ten picks have signed (#1, 6 and 10). Everybody is waiting to see who signs and how their numbers are. I'm guessing that baseball's push last year to lock in signing slots has the draftees and their agents pushing back to try to break that. We're not alone in not having signed our #1 pick this year.

    The Reds are paying all of Griffey's salary this year essentially. The Sox are paying zero dollars for him this year (with the exception of the pro-rated minimum salary, because they have to pay something I believe) and splitting the buyout with us. We saved $2m next year, zero this year.

    From what I've read on this site and elsewhere, (Including I think, Doug the ultimate Minors monitor ), Frazier is anything but a SS.
