Baring any other moves, and assuming the JHJ haul isn't going to be valuable MLB stuff this is shaping up to the the completely useless move I envisioned.

I'll wait to see what we gave up, but mark me down as not supporting this move.
Pretty pointless trade to make. As someone already mentioned, this could have been done in the off-season as well (even though I'd still think it was stupid).
Or one might put it in terms of old-fashioned ideas of value--i.e. that if you're going to sell a major league product, you ought to do what you can to offer that now. No more playing a guy at 3b who can't play the position, no matter how much somebody hopes he'll someday be able to.
Reportedly EE AND ALONSO.
Oh man, to be a Reds fan.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
But Alonso has to be a PTBNL, correct? So maybe the info is inaccurate?
