Alou heading east

The NY Mets have dipped into the MLB free agent market and signed OF Moises Alou. He has a potent power swing and has greatly improved his selectivity at the plate in recent years. He can tear up righties as well as lefties and has a very good arm in the outfield. His trips to the disabled list in recent years have hurt his productivity and his range in the field. This has forced him to cut down on his stolen base attempts. He will provide protection for Delgado and Valentin.
