Everyone seems to think that Cora is the right kind of guy for the Mets clubhouse. He is a gamer. He played hurt for most of the year with just undergoing surgery on his 2 thumbs. He brings many intangible with him.
The Mets signed for 1 year for 2M for 2009. Now what will the Mets do with him next year? If Reyes is back to himself in 2010 I would think having Cora would be a huge plus for the Mets.
If there is any inkling that Reyes will have issues in 10 then the Mets need to sign someone who has a bit more bunch in his bat. I do no think the Mets will be able to trade singles hitting Castillo even if he is at the top of his trade value with his outstanding year. The Mets need to build with players that have extra base power and Cora is really not that guy. With Reyes well the Mets can afford to have 2 infielders lacking power.
