José Edgardo Alberro (born June 29, 1969) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Texas Rangers. He batted and threw right-handed.
On June 11, 1991 Alberro signed with the Texas Rangers as an amateur free agent. In 1991 he split time with the Rookie-league Gulf Coast League Rangers and the Advanced-A Charlotte Rangers. He went a combined 2–1 with a 2.75 ERA in 24 games, all in relief.
In 1992 he split time with Advanced-A Charlotte and the Class-A Gastonia Rangers. He went a combined 2–1 with a 1.91 ERA and 16 saves in 45 games out of the bullpen.
Alberro was promoted to the Double-A Tulsa Drillers in 1993 where in 17 games he compiled no decisions with a 0.95 ERA and five saves. His outstanding play soon saw him a promotion to the Triple-A Oklahoma City 89ers where in 12 games he did not involve in a decision, though his ERA did balloon to a combined 3.75.
In 1994 he spent the entire season with the 89ers compiling a record of 4–3 with a 4.52 ERA and 11 saves in 52 games.
Alberro began the 1995 season with the 89ers but was soon called up to the major league club on April 27. With the Rangers he involved in no decisions in 12 games, 20 2⁄3 innings pitched, and a 7.40 ERA. That same year with the 89ers he went 4–2 with a 3.36 ERA in 20 games, 10 for starts.
Most of Alberro's 1996 season was spent with the 89ers, though he did have a short stint with the Rangers. In 29 games, 27 for starts, Alberro compiled a 9–9 record with a 3.47 ERA with the Triple-A club. At the Major League level he went 0–1 with a 5.79 ERA in five games, one start.
