Yordan Alvarez News
Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez went 0-for-3 with two walks in the Astros 10-1 win over the White Sox to advance to the ALCS. Alvarez caused so much havoc in the first two games that the White Sox were extra cautious pitching to him as the talented slugger racked up six walks in the series. Alvarez led the team in the regular season in runs batted in (104) and slashed .273/.529/.636 against the White Sox in the ALDS. The Astros offense is humming right now and Alvarez will be an excellent DFS option against the Red Sox hitting cleanup.

Yordan Alvarez is a big, powerful, and strong player with an immense talent for hitting the ball very hard. Coming in at 6'5" and 225 lbs., his power profile from 2019 put him in the 94th percentile for exit velocity, 94th percentile for HardHit%, and the 98th percentile for Barrel%. That is, in a word, awesome. On top of that, he had a 14.1% walk percentage (94th percentile) which elevated him to an OBP of .412. His K% is a bit high at 25.5%, but you take that and run with everything else he brings to the table. However, he only played two games in all of 2020, and at his current NFBC ADP of 87, his injury history and ongoing knee issues have to be a major concern. The fact that he is coming off of surgery to repair a partial tear of the patella tendon in his right knee is just the latest in a series of knee problems he has had dating back to his time in the minors. Yordan is back in action this spring, looking healthy as the Astros primary DH. There's a chance that you get him with the talent upside of a Top-30 player with an ADP in the 80s. He is worth the risk at his current price, and you can cover his injury risk with a safer option later in the draft.
