The Reds have made their 1st deal of the 2011 season, sending fan-loved OF, Jonny Gomes, to the Washington Nations in return for a 22-year-old minor league left-handed Class A pitcher, and a 26-year-old AA OF. Also, the Reds have called up LF and highly-touted minor leaguer, Yonder Alonso.
Jonny Gomes is a career .244 hitter, and has 115 home runs. This year, Gomes got off to a hot start, but then slowed down. His 2011 stats are as followed: a .211 batting average, 11 homers, and 31 RBI's. I wish nothing but success to Gomes.
Chris Manno, the left-handed reliever, has a 1-3 record this season, along with 12 saves, and a nice 1.04 ERA for Hangerstown.
The 26-year-old OF, Bill Rhinehart, is hitting .283, has 21 homers, and 59 RBI's in nearly 90 games for Harrisburg.
As for Yonder Alonso, in AAA Louisville this season, he was hitting .296, had 40 extra-base hits, along with 56 RBI's. Alonso can play 1B or LF.
