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.

After his last game with the Rangers they attempted to assign Alberro to the minors. He refused the assignment and on August 11, 1997, he was claimed on waivers by the New York Yankees. Alberro never played at the Major League level after he was waived. He spent the '97 season with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers of the International League.

In 2001 he split time with the Atlantic City Surf and the Newark Bears. He pitched well for Atlantic City, in 12 games he was involved in no decisions and compiled a 1.93 ERA. For the Bears he was less than perfect going 3–2 with a dismal 9.42 ERA in 13 games, one start.
