The 411 on Alberto Alicea: Entering his first season with the Lightning, Alberto Alicea brings many positives with him to the squad. His "team first" mentality is something that has made him a very attractive option for the Lehman College coaching staff, and his ability to keep the team light and relaxed on the bench is another plus. He'll contribute for the Lightning in the infield, mostly at first base.
