June 5, 2008 The Reds have selected first baseman Yonder Alonso with the seventh overall pick in today's draft, according to MLB.com.
Our View:He is a left-handed power hitter out of the University of Miami, and is batting .370 with 21 home runs and 66 RBI over 58 games for the Hurricanes.
June 5, 2008 Scott Hatteberg, who was designated for assignment by the Reds last week, is now a free agent, according to the Providence Journal.

May 29, 2008 The Mets may pursue aging vet Scott Hatteberg, according to MLB.com. Hatteberg was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday, and could be added to the Mets (if he clears waivers) if left-handed pinch-hitter Marlon Anderson needs an extended assignment to the DL.

Our View:He is only hitting .173 over 52 at-bats, and has lost his job at first base to Joey Votto. The team needs to make room on the roster for Jay Bruce, and Hatteberg looks to be expendable.
