    First AB, hitting LH, he turned on an inside pitch and sent it way into the upper deck in RF but about 50 feet foul.

    Downgrade him as a prospect. I gotta say just a 50 now.

    eta: more like a 43

    Or how about have him actually play games at AAA before bringing him up?

    Nope. He's a FV40 prospect and he gets downgraded to FV43 per Buck. Alvarez didn't hit a homer last night; he needs to moved down in the order.

    Toro is like a French Canadian Venezuelan Marwin clone. Switch hitting utility man, similar jaw line and haircut.

    Don't bother. Hopefully he will retreat back to the Texans sub forum

    The season was doomed after the 2nd series of the season for him so 4 at bats is plenty in order make a decision on Toro's impact.
