Yordan Alvarez

[joshsloan50]

Is this guy going to get called up soon? Holy cow just saw his numbers in AAA..

Since Yordan is not on the 40 man, who would they DFA?

I don’t know but I’m not sure it’s soon. Gm said the other day that he can hit right now in the big league and the very next thing he said they didn’t want to bring him up and have him hit 200. Makes me think he is watching his words

Statements like that remind me of the old Astros, keeping guys in the minors well beyond when they were ready to come up.

3-4 with 3 RBI. Kid is insane!

[marterburn]

After an off-day yesterday, 3R HR in the 1st today.

Seriously! They will not be able to pitch around him in Houston either. I feel sorry for those pitchers.

Can’t figure out how to put just the video in here, but check out his HR today!

Just think what he will do when he is called up and gets some of Houston's "advanced" scouting techniques...He is going to get pricey, quick.

[Peties Army]

With altuve going on the DL it could be soon.

Might have sold too early but I couldn't pass up $750 for a blue refractor auto. I'm sure waiting on call up could have bumped it a little more, but his prices have gone crazy these last few weeks. I'm happy to cash out and hope he continues to mash.

[Kards]

That’s a good price. Was it in good shape?

[WalkOffBalker]

Houston has some weird issue with hitter call ups lately, and I think they piss off their minor leaguers by how they manipulate them.

They have a long history of guys that were crushing it in the minors and they refused to call them, and when they finally did the guys always seemed to feel too pressured and performed poorly.

Fisher, JD Davis and Kyle Tucker are all recent examples.

[bubba300]

2 for 3 with his 15th HR and 3 RBI so far today!

Yes it was. It had a few minor surface issues but could Gem. If I was a betting man though I’d say it’s a solid 9+.

Part of me hopes they keep him down until I get my 3 autos back from jewcers psa sub! But I doubt Houston will call me to get my input

From what I can tell, they have 2 open spots on the 40 man roster. Either way, there are plenty of options to send down.

Tyler White and Tony Kemp would be the two biggest right now.

[Stech36]

This guy is a beast. I’m glad I held some of my Best autos of him.

[ThoseBackPages]

can they bring him up already?

White and Kemp are both out of options.

I also count 38 assuming McCullers can flip to the 60-day though.

Still gotta think White is on borrowed time at this point.

Don't be surprised if they bring Tucker up first. If Brantley and/or Reddick get hurt, they are going to value Tucker's defense more. Plus Tucker has been on fire and like many have mentioned is already on the 40 man roster.

I can’t see them getting rid of White unfortunately. He plays too many positions in the INF that gives Hinch options resting guys.
That being said, they could lose one of the deadbeat relievers (only 1-2) and bring him up to play OF and DH Brantley. White can ride the pine and DH when Hinch needs a RH Bat. Otherwise it’s time for White to go.

Hot Damn! He hit that over the wall that was past the CF wall. That had to be over 440 feet HR!

Agree on White, he's a valuable righty bat off the bench. But they aren't going to put Alvarez in LF and relegate Brantley to DH. Brantley rates as an average defensive OF and almost certainly superior defensively to Alvarez.
