The catcher had 18 hits in his first 36 at-bats with Reading. Baseball America ranked him in February as the Phillies' No. 5 prospect. He was named on Monday as the Eastern League's player of the week. Alfaro, 22, had 10 RBIs and six extra-base hits, including one homer. The righthanded hitter was acquired last July from Texas as part of the Cole Hamels trade. He did not play last season with Reading because of an ankle injury.
