Breaking News: Alvarez to Miss 6 Weeks

Pedro Alvarez has suffered a broken bone in his hand that will cause the Pre Season All American to miss a minimum of six weeks. "This is an unfortunate situation for Pedro," said Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin. "Obviously we will miss having him in the lineup and in the field. He is a special player that can't be replaced. This is the kind of injury you don't rush back from and we hope to have him back at full strength later in the season." Alvarez only played in the first game of last weekends Demarini Invitational, getting injured in his first at bat.

Alvarez is ranked as the top player in this year's draft class. Last year he hit .386with 18 home runs and 21 doubles.
