Pedro! Pedro! Pedro! E-mail

So Pittsburgh rookie Pedro Alvarez now has four home runs over his last two games and four multi-hit games out of his last five. And these aren't chincy home runs he's hitting. I was at the game yesterday and saw two of them in person. These are "oh my god he just vaporized the baseball"-style dingers.

Now I just need to figure out what makes me happier, the realization that it's a member of my beloved yet beleaguered Pirates showing this kind of offensive prowess or the fact that I actually traded John Axford for Alvarez mere days before the power explosion began. I must say, after rostering and starting Gordon Beckham, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Lopez, Kevin Kouzmanoff and Felipe Lopez this season, it's finally nice to own a productive third baseman I don't have to spend time worrying about. Oh, and if you're in a shallow league, you might get lucky and find he's currently a free agent.

Running in 6th place in a shallow 10 team league, but not far from making a run at the playoffs. Could Pedro booster this if I have to drop Scot Rolen? I'm looking for a spark....

Pedro will go through the up-and-down swings of any rookie. By year's end, I expect the production numbers will be there. Don't expect much in the BA department, though.
