From C. Trent today
https://theathletic.com/2663792/2021...ut-these-reds/During the team’s alternate site work, Louisville manager Pat Kelly raved about infielder Alejo Lopez. Kelly said Lopez was a no-doubt future big-league player. I’ve heard that through the years. Every manager who has had him on their team loves him.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

anyone have video of him?
Actually Lopez is showing a bit more power, though not so much in the HR category as in doubles. 2019: 22 XBH in 539 PA, this year 20 in 200. Significant improvement. An XBH every 10 PA's. Currently the Reds are paying a guy $7 million who gets an XBH about every 24. Can Lopez play CF? If it's at all possible, I'd start working him there immediately.

Let the Alejo Lopez era begin.
Play him at 3B. Move Suarez back to SS. Or try India at SS and play Lopez at 2B. Don’t give this crap about well let’s work him slowly because it’s not fair to him or the players who have been here. Before you know it he’s rotting on the bench.

Well no lopez. Freeman at SS tonight's lineup.
You just know he's going to accrue 11 scattered PA over the next two weeks, then get sent back down.

Yeah, and imo, that is a shame, having the hottest hitter get the call, just so he can waste away on the bench.
