Minor League Update: Wednesday's Action

by Ray Guilfoyle on Jul 8, 2010 12:01 PM EDT in Baseball

Last night I was doing my normal browsing of some baseball sites, and checked out Jason's blog. I was pleasantly surprised to see he has published his mid-season review of some of the top prospects broken down by level. Go check out his mid-season reviews here.

Here is what he wrote about Reds prospect Yonder Alonso:

Yonder Alonso (Writeup)

Level G AVG OBP SLG R HR RBI SB

AA 31 .267 .388 .406 19 3 13 4

AAA 51 .246 .283 .365 17 4 28 3

Alonso has become the subject of some trade rumors for the Reds, as he realistically should be a first baseman at the Major League level. Unfortunately, that position is manned by a potential MVP candidate in Joey Votto, and looks like it will be for quite some time. The Reds have been trying him in the outfield, but it appears that may be at least somewhat affecting his ability to hit at AAA, as he has struggled so far.

Here is a look at how some of the top hitting prospects fared on Wednesday night.
