Do you think any of the following prospects should/will be traded?

I don't think Alonso or Votto are the future for the Reds. Votto didn't really get an extension, just a 3 year contract for the years he would have been under Reds control anyway and eligible for arbitration. If Votto succeeds, I think he will be traded after 2 years since his contract is so heavily back loaded. Alonso doesn't impress me. He is bad defensively and can only play first. There are a ton of fine first basemen available and Alonso hasn't proven that he will ever crack a big league 25 man roster. I think Alonso will be traded after or during this season and that the Reds will sign or trade for a new first baseman in two years.
