Manuel Alvarado  
Third Baseman | Vancouver Orcas

Hitting
In past seasons, Alvarado has been a bit of a liability with men on base. Let's face facts: Alvarado hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Alvarado isn't a fluid third baseman, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His arm is accurate enough. He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical.
