Sox release Abe Alvarez
Quote:
Red Sox released LHP Abe Alvarez.
Alvarez was once thought of as a top prospect and received all kinds of love from Peter Gammons, but began this season at Triple-A for the fourth straight year, posting a 6.46 ERA and 8/11 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings. He's still just 25 years old and figures to latch on somewhere, but has a 5.14 ERA in 378 career innings at Triple-A.

Re: Sox release Abe Alvarez
*yawn*
Probably belongs in the MiLB forum since that is where Abe's career will end.

Re: Sox release Abe Alvarez
Watch the Padres: Alvarez is a flyball pitcher who'd thrive in PETCO, and he's probably better than their fifth starter, Justin Germano.
Of course, watch to see what the Yankees do, too...  |

Re: Sox release Abe Alvarez
I remember talking about this guy so much a couple years ago. Feel good story to boot, he's blind in his left eye (or almost) isnt he?

I think he's the guy that wore his cap worn at a weird angle so that he could see with his one good eye. |

Re: Sox release Abe Alvarez
Funny, I was just thinking last night about where he was...I guess I got my answer.

Re: Sox release Abe Alvarez
He was with us the past few years? Talk about flying under the radar.

If by flying you mean crashing and burning into a pile of rubble.
