24 bombs, .832 OPS in AAA for the Mets last season. Not much success in his ML attempts.

Only 12 stolen bases.

Decent UIF option with some ML experience. Kind of redundant with Alberto.

So 2019 AAA, do a little math, assume they deflate the MLB ball next year, that's about a .625 OPS in Baltimore, right?

Hanser Alberto says anything is possible, but yes.

Good enough for the top of the leader board for this club.

Everyone thinks ML move but it's mil singing and the main reason is to fill in the roster at Norfolk with the outside hope that lightening strikes.

I don't see anyone thinking it's a ML deal. I think we all get it - but we know there's a high probability he makes the 26-man at some point even just as a fill-in for an injury. Or wins a spot out of ST.

Maybe Alberto will get traded.

His power looks pretty legit.    .176 ISO in the minors, .194 in the majors.     He also walks with reasonable frequency.    He hasn’t hit for average in his major league stints and has about a 30% K rate in the majors but only 20% in the minors.     Back pre-2015, he was ranked no. 46 prospect by BA.    Overall, he strikes me as a good guy to stash in AAA in case we have some injuries.
