PASQUAL ALFONSECA PROMOTED TO ML

The future is slowly getting brighter in Chicago, and having guys such as Pasqual Alfonseca on your team certainly helps. Alfonseca was a major International Free-Agent signed back in S7, and it appears his time is finally here to showcase his skills at the ML level. Alfonseca has an above average bat (he'll excel against RHP once things get rolling) to go along with a superb fielding glove. He'll be a guarantee every season for a .300+ BA, 200 hits, and at least 20 HR. He'll continue to improve in the field, where I think he could possibly see some SS action once it's all said and done. Chicago may be struggling at the present time, but keep adding talent like Alfonseca, and it won't be long at all.
