What are you guys thinking this year?
I project a .320 OBP, 30 HR, 75 R, 85 RBI campaign.
I think Pedro is more palatable in OBP leagues, but I'm not sure if his value is any better than say, Todd Frazier

He is just your prototypcal power hitter with a High K rate. He will likely drain your BA, but you're getting around 30 Bombs and 70-90 RBIs, but not very many runs. Because frankly there really is no one besides himself that's going drive him in when he actually gets on base. (at a reliable clip anyways) And of course his OBP is "tolerable" at times but not that great either.
You need Home Runs? He's you're man considering his ADP will be fairly low (hopefully) But don't be banking on much else besides some modest RBIs..
He's a young player who should improve, but unless he cuts down the strikeouts (which i doubt) He is who he is, with maybe a little more development in his power.

I believe Pedro's production will spike one of these years. Given how thin 3B is this year, Pedro appears be very attractive later in the draft.

Right now he is just a very bad hitter with bigtime power. He could put up a season similar to 2012 (I really can't see much better) or he could hit so poorly he loses PT like 2011. Until he starts putting the bat on the ball at a higher rate he'll never be on one of my teams. (Unless its a daily league and he's on a scorching hot stretch of course)

He's basically the new mark Reynolds. I like that he plays third, and that Pitt lineup I think will actually be pretty decent so he could have some more RBI opportunities. I think it all depends how he starts off the year. Last year he started off pretty bad but they stuck with him and he had an okay fantasy year for a 3b. If you draft him expect the ba to be low, but then get other guys that will help bring your batting average up

Mark Reynolds gave us pop & sprinkled in some stolen bases. Pedro gives us no speed.

30-35 HRs...crap average...if you can build high ave. around him, then by all means. I don't think he will ever be a .260 hitter

Besides that one year he got 24 he only got over ten once when he got 11. There really isn't that much difference between them. So if you used to find value in drafting Reynolds then Alvarez is basically the same thing minus a few SBs. Alvarez also has some upside

Alvarez is just a very bad hitter, but when he hits the ball, it usually flies. I never watched him play last year, but I read somewhere that he struggles with any pitch that isn't a fastball. Not sure if this really is true or not, but if he can get enough fastballs, then he can put up another 30. If he ever learns how to be a hitter, he could be very good. Right now, he is just a swinger that can hit it far. A Mark Reynolds or Chris Davis type of hitter.

Agree 100%! Was planning on landing Moustakas or Frazier late but stuck with Alvarez instead. Hopefully the power will at least be there in the end.

These all or nothing types are streaky. Just gotta burn a bench spot and wait for the power surge.

As long as he isn't your starting 3B (shame on you if he is), he is the type you bench until he starts to show signs of life. He's 30HRs in the bank.
