The Cubs signed Alfaro to a minor-league contract Wednesday with an invitation to major-league spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Scouting Report
Displays all-around ability for a catcher, especially a great throwing arm and plenty of athleticism. Also has home-run power and more speed than most backstops. Needs to become a more selective hitter in order to maximize production at the highest level. Still needs more work on his defense. Is also somewhat raw, overall.
Long Range Potential: Talented catcher with upside.
