Under The Greydar: Into The Wide Blue Yonder
You might be saying to yourself, "Really, is this guy trying to sell me Yonder Alonso? A no-power corner on the Padres no less?" I guess. I mean, if you want, you can save your money and invest in pogs. Or, you can hear me out. I enjoy a challenge, and it looks like I have a lot of time on my hands since, apparently, I gave up sex for lent. That doesn't include my dakimakura...
Yonder Alonso: 2013 Fantasy Sleeper
Once considered one of the best up-and-coming players in the game, Yonder Alonso has fallen off the map. Ranked by Baseball America as the top prospect in the Padres organization last year, Alonso slashed a decent .273/.348/.393 in his first full season in the majors. However, due to his lack of power (he only hit nine home runs last year) and the vast depth of the first base position...
Yonder Alonso loves Petco
Over at the U-T, Bill Center has an article on Yonder Alonso, with a lot of quotes from the new San Diego Padres first basemen:

Alonso doesn't take weight loss lightly
Yonder Alonso showed up for a promotion of Redsfest, the team's annual fan expo, noticeably thinner.
Alonso vowed to come to spring training lighter and quicker to help with the shift from first base to left field. He hired a personal chef and tailored his workouts toward being an outfielder.
The result? He's 18 pounds lighter than the 240 pounds he played at this season...

Yonder Alonso: Should he Stay or Should he Go?
Yonder Alonso must feel more like a grub worm than a professional baseball player right now. This due to the recent speculation claiming the team is dangling the prized prospect as their primary trade bait for pitching -- namely another top-notch starter and/or closer to fill the vacancy left behind by free agent Francisco Cordero.
While there's no doubt Cincinnati'...
Alonso to Train with Wild Thing?
Just a little humor to brighten your day and get you ready for the weekend, but I saw this tweet and couldn't help but think of Yonder Alonso training and partying with Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn. I don't know what help he would be to Alonso as he prepares to play left field next season, considering Vaughn was a pitcher. In fact after a night with Vaughn/Sheen...
