pedro alvarez looks for real

Pittsburgh prospect Pedro Alvarez, who took signing with the Pirates past the wire in 2008, is now with the Indianapolis Indians, the Pirates' Triple-A affiliate. This morning they finished a four-game series with the IronPigs. Ive been too busy to make it to the games but have seen bits and pieces of all on TV. The stand-out player for sure was Pedro Alvarez. He's not a Ryan Zimmerman or Scott Rolen kind of third baseman but he's definitely got the look of a winning big league player. Color me impressed.
