If one of the previous bloggers is correct and Alfonso is still in extended spring training the Brewers need to move him. As I stated earlier, I saw him play in March and he can flat throw. He also swung the bat well. They have stolen 9 bases off Brewer catchers in Wisconsin in the last 2 games. They desperately need a catcher that can throw. I checked his stats at Louisville and he was one of the top defensive catchers in the nation his junior and senior year. They may not think he can hit, but the Brewers have seven catchers on their minor league teams right now hitting under .185. I can only go by what I saw in the 3 games I watched him play. I can tell you that he is head and shoulders above the other catchers I watched defensively, and he hit the ball hard 6 of his 9 at bats. It is hard to believe that a catcher who started four years at the Div. 1 level, on a team that won over 150 games, isn't able to make the minor league roster of any of the Brewer teams. He may be a no name, but he deserves a chance in an organization that doesn't have a talented group of defensive catchers.
