The Yonder Alonso Issue

A pressing concern out there in Redsland seems to be what to do Yonder Alonso. There seems to be this notion that clubs are beating down the door to trade for the guy. I may be missing something, but I don’t see him as having great trade value at the moment. Consider:

–He  went into Tuesday hitting .230/.272/.328 in 183 at-bats at Louisville. He only had 13 extra-base hits.

–He isn’t playing much left field anymore. “He’s the first baseman,” player development director Reynolds said. “He’ll occasionally play left. He’s been OK in left. He catches everything to him. He hustles. He takes pretty good reads. The one limiting factor is his running speed.”
