Welcome, Alex Cora

(originally posted 1/14/09 on Preaching to the Choir)

The Mets are apparently on the verge of adding utility infielder Alex Cora to their 2009 ballclub.

Here's a fact you probably didn't know: As soon as Alex takes the field for the Mets, he will immediately zoom into the Top 15 All Time List for anybody who's ever appeared for the Mets in that all-important category of Times Hit by Pitch, joining such notably bruised luminaries as Don Baylor, Ron Hunt, and Fernando Vina.

Other than that, he's a utility infielder. How much harm can he do?
