With the Pirates completing a literally last minute deal with their #1 pick (and #2 overall pick in the draft) Pedro Alvarez, Spikes fans might be thinking that they’ll soon have a reason to go back out to the ball park.
Not so fast.
There’s been no announcement yet as to whether Alvarez will actually make an appearance in a Spikes uniform. Unfortunately, the most likely scenario sees Alvarez just not starting his professional career until this fall in the Arizona Fall Instructional league. And double unfortunately, it’s unlikely that Alvarez will be assigned here for next season either.
