Um, isn’t Joey Votto pretty much the same player, less a little power? And he has that high price tag. Not sure what Cincy is thinking here, but it’s not a horrid pick.

Amaury Marti Watch
Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.
Amaury also refuses to accept the watch curse. He has the power to curse, and the power to bless.

Shocked by the Reds going with Alonso.
Surprised, a little, by the Hosmer pick at 3.
Happy to have called Posey to the Giants, though. Yay, me.
The Reds must be thinking that Votto can move to the outfield, but Alonso’s bat is almost too good to pass up.
