The Baltimore Orioles have had interest in Pedro Alvarez all winter, and he fits their lineup in a lot of ways; he's a big-time power hitter who swings from the left side and can help balance out a Baltimore lineup that generally leans right, with Manny Machado, J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, etc.

But the signing of Alvarez to a one-year deal also means that manager Buck Showalter and the front office will have to make hard choices about the lineup and roster.
