Does anybody know when or if he might be moved up to Billings? I'm wondering because I will be at the Billings-Missoula game next Sunday and would really love to see him play.

I am guessing they are letting him finish off the playoffs with the AZL Reds. They are just about done I believe, may even be in the championship series next.
I can't remember, did he sign a major league contract? I think he did. He may be on a similar 1st year schedule to Yonder, less than 20 days in the minors, then up to the majors at roster expansion so he doesn't burn an option this season. He may never play in the majors, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him come up in early september
Yonder was called up, though I don't know if he ever was in cincy (much less played) during that time. It was strictly a procedural move that allowed them to avoid using an option on him. In a nut shell, the rule is that if you spend less than 20 days in the minors before coming up, it doesn't count as an option. they may do the same thing w/ Grandal. Its the reason why Yonder started out with a team the Reds knew wasn't going to make the playoffs
They will do the same thing with Grandal.
Baseball game in Montana in September? I'm jealous!! Anyhow, Reds give little info regarding latest minute Minors moves. Maybe if you check the 'stangs site, there might be some info. When Reds finally signed him they said they wanted him to get to Billings quickly. (which is where a #1, college-experienced player should belong).
He is not on the Mustangs roster yet. Billings only has nine games left, and the last one is on September 9th. They are likely not going to be in the playoffs.

I'm not sure why Cots is showing, perhaps it has something to do with him having a ML deal. I went back and looked at the Reds transactions for September, 2008 and there's no mention of Alonso being called up. In October, 2009, they showed "roster status changed," which they also showed for LeCure and Bray on the same date. Not sure what that means. Perhaps that's where the service time comes from, although that's just a guess for me.
