Pedro Alvarez for Brett Wallace

[kingmike74]

Non keeper 15 team league but most owners stash a prospect or 2 trying to pull a "Braun".


I own Wallace and was just offered Alvarez for him.

I think Wallace is a good prospect but I do not see him in the near future. Alvarez on the other hand, I see him up no later than June 5 or so, due to arbitration, super two, etc.

Do this deal?

I'd say YES, especially in a non-keeper. Alvarez should get the earlier call-up.

i think Wallace will get called up soon as well.. but i think Alvarez has more power anyhow... just my thoughts

I really think Alvarez will get here and amaze with his moon shots.

Anyone know a good site to get Milb batting splits. I am trying to see how Alvarez is doing v. lefties.

minorleaguebaseball.com is really good for all stats on batters and pitchers in the minors.

Pedro Alvarez: hitting .209 against LHP

Brett Wallace: hitting .356 against LHP

Both are power hitting lefties, while Alvarez will be up sooner (because Pittsburgh in that much more need than Toronto) I think Wallace will have more suceess as he is more complete player and hitter.
