Francisco is finally off the AAA interstate.
His 2-4 (with a homer and 5 RBI today) put his BA at an even .200.

Re: Adopted: Francisco Alvarez
Francisco had seven hits with a pair of home runs in 20 at-bats in his first full series since an ankle injury sidelined him in late August.

Maybe he needs an ankle injury every once in a while to give him a jump start.

He was 3 for 3 last night with a double and homer in a rain shortened game.
Maybe he is stepping more gingerly because he's afraid to inure it again, and it has altered his stroke or approach to the pitch.

Re: Adopted: Francisco Alvarez
Francisco Álvarez since returning from an ankle injury for Triple-A Syracuse:
- 8 G, 34 PA, .387/.441/.742, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 5 XBH, 3 BB, 8 K
He didn't play last night.
I hope he finishes out the season strong and plays every game until the season ends on Thursday.

Re: Adopted: Francisco Alvarez
With no announcement whether yesterday's rainout will be made up, Francisco went 2-3 in today's final regular season game.
He finished the season with a .234/.382/.443 line at AAA - 158AB, 31R, 37H, 6-0-9, 31 RBI in 45G
and
.277/.368/.553 at AA - 253AB, 43R,70H, 16-0-18, 47RBI in 76 G.
Combined stats:
.260/.374/.511 22-0-27 78RBI.
Not bad for a 20 year old in 112 games.

Re: Adopted: Francisco Alvarez
The walk rate might be the most impressive part.
A 65 - 70 point gap between a hitters BA & OBA is about average.
Lurking around 100 and even 100+ point gap when young and young for your league is a very good sign.

Re: Adopted: Francisco Alvarez
He had surgery to repair his inured ankle, and will be ready for Spring Training.
