The Mets have officially agreed to terms with SS Ronny Cedeno on a one-year, $1 million deal. Cedeno batted .249 with a .297 OBP last season in 413 at-bats with Pittsburgh. The Mets expect to announce the signing of OF/2B Scott Hairston later this week, who has yet to pass a physical.
Cedeno's best season came in 2010, when he batted .256 with eight homers in 468 at-bats with Pittsburgh. GM Sandy Alderson plans to sign more pitchers to provide both rotation and bullpen depth at Buffalo.
Cedeno has been signed to serve as a utility man behind SS Ruben Tejada and the second baseman (whoever that person is), but LeRoy believes he is a dark horse candidate to win the starting shortstop position over Tejada, who will more likely serve as a utility player.
