Alex Cora, Good Choice?

[whereisnomar]

When the Sox traded Vazquez for Alex Cora, a very weak hitter, was it a good deal, or is Theo Epstein just trying to make another amazing deal to turn the Sox season around? Why would you just trade a back up player for another back up player? Is it just me, or is Alex Cora really a good deal.

[CrespoBlows]

He can't be any worse than Vazquez can he?

This isn't a season turning deal here. It's just a deal to replace an injured utility man with a more healthy one. An interesting thing I thought of. Both guys that we got in the Dave Roberts deal are gone in the same day.

Really, this might just be part of a new deal. Possibly trying to get a new 2nd Baseman? :dunno:

Hopefully a new second baseman is on the way.

Well I don't see it having an impact one way or the other.

He should have an impact.... maybe a change of scenery will help bring back up his numbers to his career average.

Didn't you hear what Jerry said? Tito doesn't plan on taking Bellhorn out anytime soon, struggles or not.

[YanksHater213]

I dont think thats right. If the guy is playing bad, hes playing bad and needs to be on the bench. I think its good for Bellhorns confidence though. Let him know that someone believes in him.

[riverside sluggers]

i sure hope it helps bellhorn's confidence, hes right now in an 0 - 15 slump---9 strikeouts, 4 walks, 2 runs scored

[soxie thefangirl]

I hope it helps as well. He's been struggling a lot, but according to Tito, the solution is to play him through the slump, not sit him.
