Alvarez coming up per Roch.

[weams]

I guess I had a bias against Wada as well.

Here I just thought that I thought his stuff wouldn't translate.

No, he never pitched in the majors for you to ridicule him for.

I still believe in Tsuyoshi Wada!!! Ikamasu Softbank Hawks!

Specifically Hank. Because of 2013.

What did he do to me in 2013 to cause me to have a personal bias against him?

I don't really enjoy being accused of prejudice.

As weams would say, "Take it offline". NSFW

He looks downright smooth in the outfield.

Anyone can look smooth with a 20 ft range.

Ok. I retract.

Nick is a master of it.

[Can_of_corn]

Ok. I retract.

Thank you.

Maybe we could all chip in and get you a crying towel? It feels like Rodney Dangerfield all over again.

I know Wal-Mart carries everything, but yours sounds super weird. And how much could something like that cost, anyway?

[Frobby]

He also walked occasionally and could pull a pitch.

He also had ...help.

But you are also right, obviously I know nothing and I just guess right a lot of the time.

I'm not saying its likely Alvarez will develop into more than he is now. Just pointing out that it's not unprecedented. And yes, Cruz had...help. And maybe is still getting help.

[MrOrange82]

You've lead a sheltered life.

Does Wal-Mart sell blissful ignorance in bulk? Because I want mine back.

Maybe Alvarez could get a little....help....from his friends of course. Cue OFFNY or weams with Beatles video.

Alvarez was missing pitches horribly last night. The on AB on Hamels, he was up 2-0, and then missed 3 breaking pitches by 2 feet each. I hope I'm wrong, but Mr. Alvarez is going to be in Norfolk to start next year.

I think Alvarez's eventual role will be a platoon guy who will also serve as the fourth outfielder if Jones needs a day off. An outfield of Upton, Jones, Parra would look pretty decent. Alvarez would platoon with Parra.
