Hurdled Again
I won’t demand a trade, but I think not at least perusing teams’ interest in Alvarez this winter would be a missed opportunity. Huntington is no fool, though–he will see what some teams would be willing to offer for Alvarez.

I think he should make the fulltime move to first over the offseason and try to reboot. His defensive struggles at third really seemed to affect his bat. Maybe if he makes the move to first, his confidence will improve and he can be productive again.

Huntington should not beat himself up. Any player’s stats look better when playing half their games at Coors Field.

He actually had pretty even splits home/away. A touch more power at home, but nothing like the pre-humidor Denver boosted numbers. For what it’s worth, Morneau hit the same number of HR’s as the Davis/Sanchez platoon, but for 3-4 times the salary (granted Morneau put up a much better OPS). I think for the money, it’s probably time to cut bait with all 3 of our 1B options for 2015 (Alvarez is probably the only one who may have trade value, but I’d consider non-tendering all 3) and using those funds to sign or trade for a more adequate stop-gap with a better OBP until Josh Bell is ready. Davis will probably get something around $5 million next year, Sanchez $3 million and Alvarez something around $6 million. I just don’t see any of them really being worth that kind of money, especially when you’d have to platoon 2 of them to get any kind of balanced production.
