After signing two Dominican players with major league experience, Danesi Nettuno made it a trio last week with the signing of 37-year-old infielder Manny Alexander to a one-year contract. Alexander joins pitcher Giovanni Carrara and outfielder Abraham Nunez on the Nettuno roster for 2009.
A native of San Pedro de Macoris, the Dominican “cradle of shortstops,” Alexander played 539 major league games with six teams after debuting with Baltimore in 1992. He batted .231 in big league ball, and hit .265 in minor league baseball between 1988 and 2007. He played in Italy for Telemarket Rimini last summer, leading Rimini with a .331 average.
Alexander is slated to play shortstop this year in Nettuno.
