Still can’t believe the Reds went with Yonder Alonso (hopefully will be traded this off-season) over Gordon Beckham.

Beckham and Alonso were pretty evenly ranked at the time. Alonso hasn’t exactly been tearing up the minors, but Beckham wasn’t exactly great this year either

Yes, both ranked similar, but the need for a middle infielder at the time was much more needed then another first basemen, especially with Votto as the future.

Alonso had a pretty decent year at AAA (.296/.355 w/ 53 extra base hits). Where’s the love? Gordan Beckham hasn’t really distinguished himself yet really @ .252/.317 w/ 9 hrs in the majors as he regressed this year. Alosno probably lacks power for a 1B but he certainly looks like a decent hitter who deserves a shot in the majors.
