The struggling Los Angeles Angels placed veteran infielder Edgardo Alfonzo on waivers Saturday for the purpose of giving him his unconditional release, and recalled right-hander Jason Bulger from Triple-A Salt Lake.

2b Edgardo Alfonzo signs with the Cubs.

[donobr]

Only if he will sign for 3 years for 20 million,or donut Jim will not sign him.

[BigbadB]

Wow. They cut some big contract there.

[cubs121]

[srbin84]

I'll take Alfonso at less than a million over some of the guys we have on the roster right now.

thats true! i dont think neife (gidp machine) perez would mind scooting down :D

[CubsWin]

I'd say grab this guy if you can, but the question remains why would he want to sign with the Cubs?

[cheapseats]

No.

 

Neifi is more valuable than Edgardo Alfonso at this point. Edgardo is done.

[Magnetic Curses]

No.

 

Neifi is more valuable than Edgardo Alfonso at this point. Edgardo is done.

 

how can anyone be less valuable than neifi perez?

 

EDIT: upon further review: alfonzo is instantly one of the best hitters in the lineup.

[cheapseats]

Alfonzo has had 50 at-bats this year. He has a .135 OBP and is slugging .120.

 

He had a .327 OBP and a .345 SLG last year.

 

PECOTA projects him as being worth 1.3 wins above a replacement player this year. Neifi is projected at 2.4 WARP.

 

If Alfonzo is the answer, I don't want to know the question.

Looking at those numbers, I'd say it's a safe bet Alfonzo will be a Cub very, very soon.

The question is: wasn't he the young Banks boy on Fresh Prince?

i never said he was the answer, just that he'd be one of our best hitters instantly, even with minimal improvement over his current average.

[Wheelimus]

He appears to be done, but it wouldn't be [expletive] to sign him to a minor league deal and stuff him at Iowa, who knows, maybe something happens. If not you just let him go.

His current average is .100. What do you consider minimal improvement?

I'd rather have Alfonzo's "absolute psychological profile." :roll:
