It really is a shame Alonso couldn't cut it at 3B or LF. He's a nice hitter.

Some days I get pissed about EE only because for years a lot of us on here touted him as having that .900 OPS potential in him but I still do the Rolen trade given the same circumstances any day of the week. Edwin has worn out his welcome and the defense at 3B was atrocious.
That said, we probably should have just moved him to 1B in 07 and been done with it.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
He also was 22-26.
EE had an .831 OPS as a 23 year old, a .794 as a 24 year old, and an .807 as a 25 year old.
He could always hit. I can't really complain about the Rolen trade either, but I would have liked to see the Reds stick him in LF other than the likes of Gomes, Nix, Heisey, and Fred Lewis.
I still think Narron screwed with him as a youngster and stunted his develop for awhile.

Edwin's 2007 season is interesting because on paper it was actually pretty good 289/.356/.438/.794, but I think we expected more coming off his first full year. Also Alex Gonzalez who we all just expected to play good D and hopefully pop maybe 15 home runs batted .272/.325/.468/.793 with the same number of HRs as Edwin (16) and two more doubles (27 to 25) than him, so I think that effected perceptions of EE as well.

My God I had no idea Seabass (oh yeah I get to bring that one back) had that good of a year. Imagine if the Reds were getting that production from SS this year.
I don't think EE's slow start in 2007 (.554 OPS in April) did him any favors. He hit .352 (.908 OPS) in August and .322 (.969 OPS) in September.
Dude could always hit. A little up and down, but like I said I still think part of that was Narron's fault.
