My Take

Alex Cintrón interests me as a model of the well-played second act. The Humacao-born infielder bounced between the Diamondbacks, White Sox, Orioles and Nationals as a player, then parlayed that hard-earned experience into hitting-coach roles with the Astros and Rangers. I tend to believe that players who scrapped for every at-bat make the sharpest teachers, and Cintrón fits that mold. Staying in the game by reinventing yourself, passing your craft to the next generation of hitters, strikes me as a genuinely smart and generous way to live a baseball life. I would happily watch the young bats he develops.
