1st Season with the Club

RONNY CEDENO - IF
2011 stats - .249 BA, 43 R, 32 RBI, 93 KO

General Manager Sandy Alderson didn't make many moves to shape up the roster this season and the ones that he did mostly helped fill out the bullpen and the bench.  The signing of Ronny Cedeno officially names Reuben Tejada the starting shortstop and places Cedeno behind him on the depth chart.

Mostly the starting shortstop with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2011, Cedeno will serve an important role as this is the first year Tejada will be an everyday player.  Some rest throughout the season will be needed and that is what the Mets are hoping Cedeno can provide.  A once a week stop gap that should hit low in the order when it's his turn to play.

Cedeno hit .249 last season, after hitting a career high .256 in 2010.
