A photographer friend of mine that also loves baseball stopped in Sarasota last night to get some pictures of Alonso.

Nice pics. I also like the uniform.
those are some really good photos!
Am I the only one who thinks Yonder looks a bit like Albert Pujols in that first photo?
Albert Pujols is a future HOF'er. Please don't start the comps for Alonso as a perennial MVP candidate.
FWIW, I'm not comparing Yonder to Pujols as a player. I said he looks similar to Pujols in the face.
Looks like his build very similar to Votto's. Though that crouch he's got looks a little Pujols-esque, as does his soft face.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Pujols has a soft face? I always thought it was rather severe. Yonder does have a rather soft face though, almost like he still has baby fat.

To me, Yonder projects more as Nick Johnson with a bit more power. Still a damn fine player though. I don't think anyone compares favorably to Pujols, really in the history of the game.
