I am a fan of Alfaro and believe his natural abilities are considerable. But he really needs more seasoning. I would love to know how many plays that have been made at the plate with him catching that he has held onto the throw. I know it isn't easy with a guy bearing down on you like a freight train but two plays tonight seemed like outs, only to skip away from his glove (which often seems like it is in the wrong position to make the catch.
I would love us to have a home-grown, speedy, powerful catcher with a strong arm but this has been really disappointing.
