BearSox Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If they want a failed 3B prospect, they could have had Fields. Man, would our lineup look a whole lot better with Rolen at 3B and Beckham at 2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Per Rotoworld: According to FOXSports.com, the Blue Jays will receive infielders Edwin Encarnacion and Yonder Alonso from the Reds for third baseman Scott Rolen. It'd be a surprisingly nice haul for the Jays. Alonso was a first-round pick just a year ago and Encarnacion is a full eight years younger than Rolen.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Y'all need to check out Redszone.com. They're goin' nuts over there. I can't blame them. What an awful, awful, awful trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) 3:14pm: Rolen approved the deal, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter). ESPN's Keith Law says Yonder Alonso is not in the deal. Instead, it'll be Encarnacion, Josh Roenicke, and Zach Stewart heading to Toronto acco Edited July 31, 2009 by EvilJester99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) This move makes very little sense. Are the Reds going for it? Maybe.? Are they going anywhere? No. What good does this do in the long-term? Does it rid you of a decent-3b, and two good pitching prospects? That's about all it does do.
