  Alex Ochoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alex Ochoa (born March 29, 1972 in Miami Lakes, Florida) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder.
He was originally drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the third round of the 1991 amateur draft, but he never played in the major leagues for them, as Baltimore traded him to the Mets as part of a trade for Bobby Bonilla in 1995.
Ochoa would eventually be traded seven times in his career, winning a World Series with the Angels in 2002.

MILWAUKEE -- The ironies for Alex Ochoa are abundant, which isn't much of a surprise since he was just part of a trade involving three teams and 11 players.
Ochoa says he's up for the challenge not only of playing in the shadow of one of the Brewers most popular players, but battling for playing time.
By 2000 with the Reds Ochoa's playing time was way up, and he responded by batting a career-best.316 with 13 home runs and 58 RBIs, and in 2001 he saw action in a career-high 148 games.
