The Cubs have signed former White Sox infielder Alex Cintron to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, according to club officials, with an official announcement expected later today.
Cintron is 29 this year, and is a switch-hitting shortstop, who also plays 2nd and 3rd.
He can't hit worth a lick (or hasn't recently, been down-hill since '05)

He doesn't project well, either (obp/slg/ops)

Taking a quick look at his PITCHf/x data, wow, he sucks. His contact rate on pitches in the strike zone is less than 65%. He seems to like the ball down, but doesn't do much with it.
Updated: Colin's got a post looking at WAR, and the picture isn't pretty over there, either

I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather have Cedeno.
