I doubt Frazier will see much time at 1B with Yonder here.
And I hope Yonder drives fast. I'll be at the Bats game tonight.

Interesting - hopefully it lights a fire under Yonder. The Reds need some LF help.
Alonso will get the majority of his playing time in left field.
“Same as Carolina,” Reynolds said. “He’ll play some first but mostly left.”

Now, it's just a short drive for anyone who wants to go see Alonso play Left Field.
Hopefully, he's in Left Field "that night" after you make the drive to Louisville.
Well hell, I guess Frazier is a 1B for a while.
Anyone know if Terrero has played any 1B?
Looking at Baseball Reference all I see is all 3 OF spots and DH for Terrero thru Minors and Majors
Pack up the franchise and give up then. If you produce an all around great player without a big hole in his game, you need to find a way to keep him. It's not easy for a team like the Reds to get ahold of those players, and any team with aspirations of winning it all has to have a couple of those players. The Reds need more Joey Vottos, not less.
As for Alonso, I find this move surprising because he wasn't exactly tearing it up. Hopefully he does a little better at Louisville. If he was able to come up and produce some big numbers in the mid summer, or be moved for somebody that could, that would be a big shot in the arm for this team, and probably put us on the same level if not above the Cardinals.
As for Votto - If he keeps OPS'ing .975, the Reds aren't going to pay him 18+ Million a year that its going to take to keep him no matter how much they may want to do that.
As for Alonso.... he hit two balls to the wall last week. Two balls that go five more feet and the guy has an .890 OPS. He isn't exactly struggling.
For all this talk about Alonso's defense in LF, could it possibly be worse than Gomes?
