Francisco Cervelli is Conditioned for Success with Miami Marlins

Jorge Alfaro, of course, is written in pen for the Miami Marlins behind the plate. His backup at backstop, as it were, is up for a slight case of debate.

For the last two seasons, Miami’s backup catcher has been Bryan Holaday, with Chad Wallach resting in third on the depth chart. Wallach remains at that spot, but Holaday is now a part of the Baltimore Orioles. Enter Francisco Cervelli.

Cervelli, who will be turning 34 in just a couple of weeks, recently joined the Miami Marlins through free agency for $2 million.
