Mets sign utility infielder Alex Cora

The only name that has surfaced over the off season to be a back up infielder for the Mets for the 09 season has been Alex Cora. Well late last night word broke that the Mets have signed the utility infielder to a 1 year 2 million dollar deal.

Cora, who played for the Red Sox last year hit 270 and had a pretty good on base percentage of .371. The Mets will use him to give Reyes and Castillo some time off. Hopefully Castillo will play good enough that Cora will not take his place.
