Does that include minor league DL?

Cyclone (grabs note from Jocketty): Idiots!
Jocketty: Huh?
Cyclone: It's for you ...

But does that apply to the minor league DL?
There was a post here a couple days ago about it.
I AM SO ANGRY!!!
Simply awesome and appropriate "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" reference.
Sundeck reporting a Reds source saying it's not Alonso.
i cant check this at work.. but its posted on comments on the rolen trade
Ed Price says the Alonso part is incorrect.

IF true...
I understand turning potential talent into actual production, but wowzies.
Here's the contrary argument.
Rolen is only 34. He has several good years left. He is a huge upgrade at third, defensively and offensively.
EE isn't worth too much. He could even be considered a liability given his own contract. The Jays may be less than excited to get him.
Alonso is a good prospect but he plays Votto's position. His potential spot is filled on the roster with a free agent who plays the outfield and hits. Votto to LF was always a pipe dream.
It does seem like a lot to give up. But sometimes you have to overpay rather than stay in neutral.
I'm not thrilled at all, but can understand the deal and at least it should make the Reds better for next year.
This is impossible.
EE for Rolen, straight up, is debatable.
But Alonso?
This might be one of the worst (non hindsight) trade fleecings ever.
The Reds are so stupid sometimes it genuinely hurts. Scott Rolen is having a fluke of a season, will more than likely be the player he was in 2007 and 2008, and on top of giving up EdE they give up Alonso?
It's hard to care anymore, this might be the final straw for me.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
#Reds source says reports of Encarnacion plus Alonso for Rolen are not accurate. We'll see...
"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
Oh thank God#Reds source says reports of Encarnacion plus Alonso for Rolen are not accurate. We'll see...
