Miscellaneous
Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez has not even been in the major leagues for a week, but he looks like a fantastic hitter with staying power -- as if the statistics do not bear this out. As of this show, Alvarez remains available in more than 50% of ESPN standard leagues, though that number will likely adjust soon. Whatever the case, if there is one player to recommend this week, it is Alvarez. The American League boasts three rookie hitters capable of amazing things and Alvarez belongs in the conversation with Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and White Sox slugger Eloy Jimenez.
