“I still remember people thought he was going to be the savior last year when he got drafted – it’s not that easy, it’s not that easy,” Cora said. “We went through it in ’05 (with first pick Craig Hansen, who did not pan out) and he was kind of like ‘the guy’ and it didn’t turn out to be that. You’ve got to be very careful. This is still the big leagues. I don’t know if I have told you guys, my brother, he puts it in a very particular way. It’s A ball, Double A, Triple A, it’s not 4A, it’s MLB. There’s a difference. There’s a big jump from the A’s to MLB. There’s a period of adjustment.”
