Especially after tonight I think we should all look (and it might take a while) to find some positives for El Toro so here is a story I enjoyed comparing Alvarez to Gordon of the KC Royals. I want this to be the year for us to turn it around to but we NEED Pedro if we want to compete in 2013/14 when Cole, Taillon, Marte arrive and Cutch and Walker are hopefully all still in the prime of their career. My only other point of contention is Clint Hurdle is supposed to be a pretty good hitting coach so it might be best to keep Pedro up with Hurdle than send him back to the coaches at AAA. I have no idea about the background of the AAA coaches but seems like Hurdle is a guy that can retool Alvarez, if anyone can.
