The Orioles added another low average, high strikeout homer machine in Pedro Alvarez. It might go horribly wrong, but it's March, so what's the fun in going all doom and gloom?
Everything is sunshine and rainbows the day that a player is signed. The Orioles addition of Pedro Alvarez was no exception. From every angle came a barrage of positive thinking: From Dan Duquette, that the Orioles were able to sign Alvarez; from Buck Showalter, seeming pleased to be able to put another power hitter in the lineup; and from Alvarez himself, getting to join a lineup that is chock full of sluggers already.
