trouble with get posts

I have been working on this for hours along with google. I am trying to access the wordpress posts in array form so that I can put them into a switch statement. Everything points to using get_posts(); I am trying it this way

$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3,'category' => 3 );
	$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
	print_r($lastposts[0]);
	$one = $lastposts[0];
	$two = $lastposts[1];
	$three = $lastposts[2];

	echo $one->post_content;

The code below does show the array of posts on my page
print_r($lastposts[0]);

my problem is that when I try to echo or print out the content by doing

echo $one->post_content;

nothing happens. Nothing shows on the homepage and I don’t understand why.
