Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand

A couple more scouting reports on two of the draft’s top prospects…
Crow offers a lot to like. A mid-90’s fastball that he commands extremely well, a hard slider many rate as plus, and a change-up that currently rates about average but in which he has shown a pretty good feel for. While his fastball command is better than his command on his breaking stuff, he still has pretty good control of both his off-speed pitches….
...On the whole, Alvarez’s swing is pretty simple. His hip rotation is aggressive and forceful; he doesn’t let his hands get out in front. Rather, he turns his hips and hands together. He could stand to let the ball travel a little deeper, but that may just be a result of this one particular swing.

If Alvarez can stay at third base, he could be a top-5 player at his position. Move him to first base and he becomes a top-12 or so player
I've heard his 3b defense isn't so great.
