Pedro Alvarez - Pirates Third Baseman

Age: 21

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 212

Bats: Left

Position: Third Base

Relevent Statistics: I'll direct you here for Alvarez's college statistics. The best number involving him, however, is this:  4 years/$6.355M (2009-12), plus 2013-14 club options. The fact that Alvarez signed and is a Pirate is his most relevent statistic.
알바레스의 계약내용.


Scouting Report: Alvarez's best tool is his bat. His draft report card dubbed him as "about as safe as a bet as there is, Alvarez is a polished and poised hitter and should hit for average in the big leagues." He contains power now and should develop more as he continues up the ranks, potentially becoming a 25+ HR guy in the show. Speed on the basepaths is not his game, stealing 16 bases in his collegiate career. Talk about his defense claims that he'll be OK to stay at third base, which is where the Pirates will look to start him. However, a move to first base at some point would make him a better defender.
스카우팅 리포트 : 알바레스 최고의 툴은 타격이다. 그의 드레프트 리포터에 따르면, 그는 세련되고, 균형잡힌 히터이고, 빅리그에서 평균이상의 타격을 보여줄 것이라고 예상했습니다. 또한, 그의 파워는 점점 더 발전할 수 있으며, 잠재적으로 25+ 홈런을 기록할 것으로 예상됩니다. 베이스러닝은 서툴러서, 대학 통산 16개의 스틸베이스만을 기록했습니다. 그의 수비에 대해 다소 우려하는 사람들이 있는데, 일단 벅스 조직은 괜찮다고 합니다. 그를 메이저리그 3루수로 볼 수도 있다고 하지만, 그의 타격을 더 극대화하기 위해서 잠재적으로 1루수로 컨버전도 예상할 수 있다고 하네요.

Resume: In the days leading up the 2008 draft, it was widely believed that Alvarez remained the top talent available, despite a broken hamate bone in his right hand that cut his junior season a bit short. The only question mark surrounding his status was the type of bonus demands he would seek, being a Scott Boras client. The Pirates selected him anyways, and after a long, drawn-out process were able to ink their top prospect. Alvarez had a decorated collegiate career, including National Freshman of the Year honors in 2006 and a first-team All-American the following season. Before his junior season, Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin said, "I think he's the best third baseman in the country. He might be the best player in the country. He flashes five tools. He runs very well. He is a great teammate and cares about other people which goes a long way when you're talking about leadership."
개요 : 알바레스는 3학년 때 당한 손목 부상에도 불구하고 그의 에이전트(스캇 보라스) 때문에 많은 팀들이 그를 지명하는데 주저했었습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 벅스는 그를 1번(전체 2번)으로 지명했고, 그들의 탑 프로스펙터에 올려놓았습니다. 알바레스는 06년에 National Freshman 상을 받았고, 07년도에는 First-team All-American 팀에 선정되기도 했습니다. 벤더빌트의 감독이 그에게 온갖 미사여구를 붙여서 칭찬을 하는군요.

Outlook: In a system scarce of talent, Alvarez will be on a fast track to Pittsburgh. The only thing that can possibly hold him back is himself. If he lives up to expectations and hits the ball as he should/can, he will reach Pittsburgh by 2010 -- whether at first base or third. The Pirates will probably start him no higher than their High-A affiliate in Lynchburg. If he struggles in Spring Training, his professional career could begin in Hickory of the Low-A South Atlantic League. Regardless, the bat will carry him. He should finish in at least AA, following the same route as MVN Outsider top prospect, Matt Wieters. Alvarez is an elite talent, something the Pirates farm system has lacked in the past 16 years. He'll shoulder a lot of hope from the fans and organization.
예측(미래) : 허접한 벅스 조직에 단숨에 알바레스는 조직의 상위권을 장악할 것이라고 예측하고 있습니다(실제로도 1 ~ 2위를 차지할 걸로 예상합니다). 알바레스가 대학때의 모습을 그대로 유지한다면 그는 늦어도 2010년에는 피츠버그로 올 겁니다. 그게 1루가 되었건, 3루가 되었건 말이죠. 알바레스는 내년에 린츠버그(Lynchburg)보다 낮은 레벨에서 시작하겠지만, 스캠에서 삽질한다면 히코리(Hickory)에서 시작할 가능성도 있습니다. 그는 내년에 적어도 더블 A에서 끝날 수도 있겠지만, 그다음 시즌에는 MVN이 선정한 탑 프로스펙터인 맷 위터스(Matt Wieters)와 동급이 될 가능성이 높습니다. 16년 연속 루징 레코드를 기록하고 있는 벅스에게 그는 빛과 소금이 되어 줄 것입니다.

Ranking: It's tough for anyone to rank Alvarez among the rest of the prospects in the minor leagues simply because he hasn't played at all yet. But based on tools alone, you should find him in any publication's top 50 heading into the 2009 season. It will also be interesting to see whether or not those same publications will rank him No. 1 in the Pirates system ahead of centerfielder Andrew McCutchen -- a former first-round pick himself.
랭킹 : 그는 아직 어떤 마이너에서도 뛴적이 없기 때문에 비교대상을 찾기는 힘듭니다. 하지만 아마 09시즌에 랭킹 50위안에는 들것으로 생각되며, 현재 벅스 조직 최고 유망주인 앤드류 맥커첸(Andrew McCutchen)앞에 올 수도 있습니다.

Bottom Line: An elite prospect who should rise through the Pittsburgh organization. He will always draw comparisons to the rest of the recent third basemen, including Evan Longoria and Ryan Zimmerman. Alvarez has the bat to be mentioned with those guys.
결론 : 알바레스는 벅스 조직의 유망주 랭킹을 한 층 업그레이드 시킬것이며, 결국 젊은 3루 유망주들인 에반 롱고리아(Evan Longoria)와 라이언 짐머맨(Ryan Zimmerman)과 비교대상이 될 것입니다.

내년에 벅스가 앤드류 맥커첸(Andrew McCutchen)이 메이저리그에 오를껀가요?
We would be crazy to not have Andrew McCutchen start right away next year. Justin Upton and Ryan Braun were very young. The kid needs to be up here in 2009 because there is no reason to wait until he is 26.
-- Joe H., Templeton, Pa.

맥커첸은 곧 22살이되며, 26살까지 기다린다는 것은 과장된 표현입니다. 매커첸의 마이너기록을 통해 많은 것을 예상할 수 있습니다. 아마도 맥커첸은 내년에 트리플A에서 시즌을 시작할껍니다. 하지만, 09년말미에는 벅스네 로스터에 있을껍니다. 벅스관계자들은 맥커첸에게 오프닝 로스터에 관한 기회를 줄 것입니다.
Well, considering McCutchen is turning just 22 this week, 26 might be a slight exaggeration. But your point is well made. There is a lot of anticipation regarding McCutchen's climb through the Minors and justifiably so. However, management has made it quite clear that they aren't opposed to a conservative track for prospects.
I'd still project that McCutchen will start the season in Triple-A, but that the center fielder will be in Pittsburgh before the end of the 2009 season. However, with Brandon Moss' status possibly iffy for the start of the season, that could open the door for McCutchen to make the club out of Spring Training. Management has said that McCutchen will be given every chance to make the Opening Day roster.

멕커첸의 마이너 기록

알바레스를 보고싶다는 팬의 쓰잘때기 없는 질문.
Is it more likely that Pedro Alvarez will play for the West Virginia Power or the other Class A team? I really would love to get to see him play in West Virginia.
-- Shane R., W.Va.

미정이지만, 싱글 A팀인 웨스트 버지니아와 린치버그의 팀 중 한 군데에서 뛸꺼랍니다. 어쨎든 좋은 모습을 보인다면 더블A로 조기 콜업될 수도 있답니다.
Alvarez will begin next season with one of the organization's two Class A teams, either West Virginia or Lynchburg. GM Neal Huntington hasn't specified which affiliate it will be yet. Management wanted to observe Alvarez in instructional league this fall to see how any layoff may have hurt him and where he'd be best starting. Either way, if Alvarez makes the type of progression that is expected, he likely will move up to the Double-A level fairly quickly.


이번에 보스턴에서 받아온 크렉 핸슨의 드레프트당시의 계약이 올시즌에 만료됩니다.
  • signed 7/05 (Major League contract)
  • $1.325M signing bonus (paid in 3 installments 7/05, 1/06 & 8/06)
  • 05:$0.575M, 06:$0.7M, 07:$0.7M, 08:$0.7M

    그와 다시 한번 계약을 할까요?
    Do the Bucs have a contract with reliever Craig Hansen? I believe his contract was up after this season. And if so, do they plan on signing him to a long-term deal with his inconsistency?
    -- Gary P., Syracuse, Pa.

    • 핸슨은 드레프트 될 당시에 4년의 메이저리그 계약을 맺었습니다.(위의 Contract situation 참조) 하지만, 메이저리그 서비스 타임이 올 시즌 시작할때 고작 0.108이었습니다. 그러니 밑에 나와있듯이 차후 2년 이상을 적절한 금액에 컨트롤할 수 있습니다. 물론 그 기간동안 계속 메이저리그 로스터에 포함되어있어야 한다는 것은 두말할 나위가 없구요...
    Hansen received a four-year Major League contract when he was drafted in 2005, and that contract did expire after this past season. However, since Hansen's actual Major League service time is minimal, the Pirates will retain his rights for much longer. Hansen won't be eligible for arbitration for at least two more years, meaning that the Pirates can sign him near the Major League minimum next season.

    근대 개인적으로 핸슨....아! 핸슨 뿐만 아니라 이런식의 강팀에 어떤 한 자리를 보강하기위한 트레이드로 쫓겨난 선수들은 의욕을 상실했다고 표현해야 할까요? 스트라이크를 전혀 던지질 못하더군요.
    브랜던 모스 역시 보스턴의 성적과 비교해도 차이가 나구요...물론 모스는 부상때문이기도 하지만요.


    벅스가 오프시즌에 왼손 거포를 영입할까요?
    Are there any left-handed power bats on this year's free-agent market? And if so, should the Pirates make a move to try and get one?
    -- Jamall M., Pittsburgh

    이미 벅스에는 네이트 맥로스, 아담 라로쉬, 브랜던 모스, 스위치 히터인 라이언 도밋이 있기에 벅스는 아마도 오른손 거포를 영입할 가능성이 있다는....
    While there are left-handed free agents to be had, that's not really where the priority lies for the Pirates. It's quite different than two years ago, when that was the club's No. 1 need. Looking at next year's lineup, the Pirates have left-handed power from Nate McLouth, Adam LaRoche, Moss and the switch-hitting Ryan Doumit. If the Pirates do go out in search of another power bat, it will certainly be of the right-handed variety.

    존 밴 밴슈튼은 메이저리그에서는 엉망이었지만, 인디에나폴리스(벅스의 트리플A팀)에서 2년동안 17승을 거두면서 좋은 모습을 보였습니다. 그의 내년 전망은 어떨런지요?
    In your article Bucs will count on growth from core, you listed most of the pitchers who made at least a few starts this season, but you made no mention of John Van Benschoten. His performance in the Majors has been terrible over the last two years, but he's been one of the top starters for Indianapolis (17 wins over the past two seasons). What's the outlook for Van Benschoten for 2009? Will he even get an opportunity to compete during Spring Training?
    -- Gene P., Latham, N.Y.

    스캠을 통해 경쟁을 한다면 충분히 가능성이 있다고 합니다. 하지만, 좀 부정적으로 보이네요.
    제가 볼때도 부정적입니다. 전형적인 AAAA 타입의 선수가 되지 않을까 싶네요.
    That list of pitchers was done to give the most likely candidates for the '09 rotation. It's not necessarily exhaustive, but it is fairly complete. Van Benschoten is still a part of this organization and will be given a chance to make the club in Spring Training. However, when you look at the list of potential candidates the Pirates have going into next season, it's hard to see him denting the top five. He could try to make the club out of the bullpen.
    As good as Van Benschoten has been in Triple-A over the past two years, he has not been able to duplicate even half of that success at the big league level. At some point, you have to wonder when -- or if -- he ever will.


    민케비치와 아담 라로쉬 둘 다 쓸 수 없나요?
    You say there is no option at first base other than Adam LaRoche. What about Doug Mientkiewicz? I would rather see him at first than LaRoche. You never see Mientkiewicz quit on a play or not run out a fly ball or ground out. What is the chance of the Pirates going with Doug over Adam?
    -- John K., Pittsburgh

    민케비치와 라로쉬 둘다 골든 글러브 급의 수비수이지만, 라로쉬은 뱃트를 벅스는 더 선호할꺼라고, 하지만 라로쉬가 극심한 슬로우 스타터이기 때문에....
    Mientkiewicz certainly became a fan favorite for his hard-nosed, let's-get-the-uniform-dirty approach this year, but he's not going to supplant LaRoche at first. Both are Gold Glove-caliber first baseman, so defensively you're talking about two of the best. However, LaRoche offers the Pirates the power bat that the club needs in the middle of the lineup. With power at the corner outfield positions looking like it will be limited, power at first base is certainly a priority.

    네이트 맥로스를 트레이드 하는게 어떨런지요?
    Let me begin by saying that I am a loyal season-ticket holder. I want to say that I agree with the Jason Bay and other trades. I say that now Nate McLouth may be with the Yankees by next season. I like the way our new management is going, but when is enough, enough?
    -- Mike V., Freeport, Pa.

    맥로스는 벅스네의 미래의 한 조각이 될 겁니다.
    The Pirates see McLouth as an integral part of this club's future.

    맥로스에게 장기계약을 제시할것이고, 그와 함께 하길 바랄껍니다. 양키스는 CF를 필요로 하지만, 트레이드 할 선수가 없습니다.(무슨 뜻인지 모르겠습니다. 맥로스의 양키스행에 대한 양키스 오퍼가 시원찮지 않을꺼 같단 추측을 하는건지, 아님 양키스에 유망주가 없다는 건지.....). 분명한건 벅스는 지난 7월에 양키스 팜의 4명을 데리고 오면서 거덜내버렸다.(글쎄요. 이것 아닌듯-_-;;)
    The organization has indicated interest in locking McLouth down with a multi-year contract and would have to be blown away by any offer to let him go. Quite frankly, the Yankees, who are in need of a center fielder, don't have the players to make that type of offer. Remember, the Pirates already pillaged New York's farm system for four prospects in July.

    엄청난 발전이군요. 이럴때 비싼값에 팔아야 하는데...ㅡ.ㅡ;;
