Without checking the other thread or any other sources, tell me:

1. What city does Joaquin Arias hail from?
2. Before being traded to the Mets, the Rangers had designated Joaquin Arias for assignment. Which ex-Met had they added to the roster precipitating this move?
3. Who did the Mets trade to acquire Joaquin Arias?
4. What number did Joaquin Arias wear as a Met?
5. Who did Joaquin Arias hit his lone extra-base hit as a Met off of?

Bonus Question: How the hell is he hitting so good?

Re: Joaquin Arias Quiz

Good guess --- a lefty in the division who is always healthy and never misses a start, but one who the Mets often find a way to get to.
