Singled out: Taking stock of Hanser Alberto’s season

He spent six years in the minors before getting a cup of coffee. Over nine years in the Rangers organization, he hit .210 while appearing in exactly 89 games. He’s been cut by four different teams—this year. (That includes the Orioles, who DFA’d him on February 19 to make room on the 40-man roster for Andrew Susac, then picked him back up on March 1.) He’s a utility infielder who plays particularly well nowhere on the diamond.

Alberto is the most undistinguished lineup standout on a team that makes undistinguished its calling card.
