2010 Rank: NR
Why Ranked Here: Alvarez pitched his way from advanced-A to AAA. He misses bats and doesn’t walk anyone. The Mets added him to the 40-man roster, so he’s just an injury, or a dominant streak of his own from the big league bullpen.
He throws a two-seamer, a four-seamer and a cutter and took off, says Director of Minor League Operations Adam Wogan because, “he suddenly had great movement with better command and he took off.”
2010: Alvarez was dominant at St. Lucie to start the year, missed lots of bats at Binghamton too, and got a taste of AAA Buffalo to end 2010.
Dr. Pangloss Says: A really good middle-reliever.
Debbie Downer Says: A one-year wonder.
Projected 2011 Start: Buffalo
