The Mets have plenty of hitting, assuming Alonso's slump is a temporary funk. The RISP issue is a statistical anomaly. We laugh at old-school fans who criticize a player for not being "clutch", but somehow we still criticize a team when the randomly scattered hits don't happen to cluster for a while. One problem the Mets really do have is four corner outfielders and no centerfielders on the active roster. So, yeah, it might be nice to have Hamilton on our side.
