The Cubs have signed 33-year old switch-hitting IF/OF Alfredo Amezaga to a minor league deal. Amezaga played in 40 games for the Marlins & Rockies last year and he was 14 of 77 (.182 avg, .442 OPS) with 6 runs scored, 0 homers and 4 RBIs. He has now played in 584 games in his first nine years in the majors and he is 348 for 1,408 (.247 avg, .640 OPS) with 173 runs scored, 12 homers, 110 RBIs and 49 stolen bases. Amezaga will have a decent shot to make the Cubs out of spring training due to his versatility in the field.
