Re: First AFL Box score
Heisey needed a HR in the 9th for the cycle. He didn't get it and flied out. Alonso came up after him and homered. Cycle by proxy.

Re: First AFL Box score
Heisey after 7 games:
16 for 28 5 doubles 2 triples 2 HR (that's 9 XBH vs 7 singles)  3 BB 2 K .571/.704/1.107 For a respectable OPS of 1.811 I'd like to see him walk more.

Heisey may be a better offensive player than even I thought.

Re: First AFL Box score
If Heisey could keep hitting like this, he'd complete a very good defensive outfield for Cincinnati. I don't know that he'll have the bat to man left, but if he does, we know he can play defense and would be a great defensive trio of he, Stubbs and Bruce.
As much as Heisey, if he gains any trade value, I prefer to package him in a trade for another player, let Votto move to left and use Alonso at first. But regardless, I'm glad to see Heisey continue to hit (or pick it back up after finishing AAA kind of slow).

Re: First AFL Box score
Heisey mastered AA pitching this year. I'd guess the AFL pitching is about AA level, but emphasizing pretty high end talent.
Heisey needs a couple of hot months at AAA next year and then he needs to be in the major leagues. My guess is he could be traded because his value is enhanced by his ability to play CF. The Reds likely will keep Stubbs instead due to his terrific defense. Somebody looking for a CF should have a lot of interest in Heisey. |

However, my point is that this is a very small sample and it's against AA and A-ball competition, at least in terms of experience level. When you look at Heisey's production in AAA, he was very ordinary. I do believe he'll bounce back next year and pick up where he left off, but I'm just not ready to jump the gun because of 5-6 real good games.

Re: First AFL Box score
No way I'd be considering trading either Heisey or Alonso at this point. If we have some good talent, you know, it doesn't always mean we should just be as creative as possible in figuring out ways to get them out the front door.

  I know lots of people here love Yonder. What's not to like. But he's simply a bad fit. He is BY FAR our best trading chip outside of Votto...and there's simply no chance I'm dealing Joey. Nottachance!

Re: First AFL Box score
What if Alonso's better than Joey? Remember he's going to be cheaper longer.
