Georgia SS a realistic option for Reds at #7
Baseball Prospectus
Sitting back in wait-and-see mode, the Reds could be either the victims or the beneficiaries of what is still a significant amount of uncertainty as far as the six picks above them. They're leaning college for sure, but that's based on available talent more than anything else. Their realistic preference looks to be Gordon Beckham, and they certainly need a long-term shortstop. Crow or Matusz falling this far would also by very tempting, especially with Walt Jocketty running the show, as he prefers the arms at this spot if they are available. They also have interest in slugging University of Miami first baseman Yonder Alonso.
