6th rounder in an avg. leag, 9th-10th in an OBP leag. But he's probably going to be overrated going into next year.

Doesn't take walks of course, BA will deflate a little. 2nd-worst % of swinging at pitches outside of the strike zone in all of baseball (42.7%, Vlad had 45%) seems to portend to him not getting many pitches to hit this year.

I'd take Drew or Tulowitzki over him every day.

Hurt last year, good value this year.

I'm kind of a feel guy and I'm not feeling Tulo. I can see Drew having a decent season but not Tulo. If Alexei came from Cuba and played this well in his first season I see no reason for him to bust. He needs to take some pitches. Is this not something that can be worked on? He's been here a year, he's under 30 and he's shown some good power. He's got the tools and he's eligible at 2nd, SS, and OF. I like.

Tulo killed it for me this year. Looks like I was right on this one. :blackdot:

Basically in a 3 way tie for 6th place at shortstop. He's really warming up now though.

I think—and hope—he'll be a better keeper value next year. Batting 8th and 9th for the first 2.5 months of the season really kills his opportunities. Not that it isn't his fault, to a great extent. If he could just put together a half decent April and get a full season batting in the two hole, he should easily score 100 runs and steal 15-20 bags.But yeah, I'm glad I've been hanging onto him. Especially since the break.

Apparently they do. You really think this guy is a good player? He took less than 30 walks on the year.

Kind of hard to "slug" when you don't swing the bat, isn't it?And it's all relative. Considering the dearth of talent at the SS position, especially in the AL, you could do a hell of a lot worse than throwing him out there.
 
garbage so far, still waiting for him to heat up post-April like he's accustomed to doing. He's swinging at significantly more pitches outside the zone than in years past, which is driving a career-low BB% and career-high K%. Hopefully he figures his #### out soon.

 
Is he gonna keep this up? I know if I trade Iwakuma for him Alexei will return to the top 15ish SS that he has been for the last several years.
