I thought Cora's comments were meant to be baseball-related, that a bench role could be adverse to Hanley's play. As someone else said it's similar to the idea that being a DH only and not playing the field has an adverse effect for some. Or maybe his comments are subject to interpretation. Maybe he said too much, trying to explain it too much. Hard to say. But I can't see Alex Cora intentionally discrediting Hanley's character.

Apples and oranges, obviously.

Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?
Bellhorn04 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yeah right. Reddick was traded for Andrew Bailey. Bailey had stellar numbers with Oakland. He got injured and washed out like many pitchers do. Wasn't pennies on the dollar though. -
Sometimes you just have to exercise a little common sense. No team is going to agree to a vesting option that they can be potentially liable for even after the player leaves their employment and the team can no longer control the playing time or whatever it is that triggers the option.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
Bellhorn04 replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The team obviously felt differently and I respect their judgment. The Bill Belichick 'coach's decision' doesn't always go over very well, as with the Butler case. And Red Sox media/fans are more demanding of information than Pats equivalents. Also maybe there were legit concerns about how the Players Union would see this in view of the option and how Hanley was on pace to trigger it. -
Sure, perhaps the Red Sox don't really know, didn't even bother to read the contract that carefully, because either way, hey, what's another $22 million?
-
Doesn't it seem eminently clear that a contract with a vesting option and tens of millions of dollars at stake would stipulate precisely and without confusion what happens in this sort of, not unusual, scenario? It's not like Moe's Pawn Shop and Legal Services draws these things up.

My comp for Beni is Mattingly.
-
The Sox aren't on the hook for the option anymore no matter what.
-
Under your plan, assuming Price stays, who else is in our starting rotation in 2021?
-
Which I'm sure they will be. The countdown is on.
-
Yeah, it took Ben 4 boxes of Crackerjack to find that lucky charm.

5/31 Houston 'Stros
Bellhorn04 replied to Station 13's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Phonetically though, his name comes out as Mint Cave Itch. Might be able to work with that. -
There is absolutely no disparagement in the comments you quoted.

5/31 Houston 'Stros

Nicely done. By the end of the season maybe we'll have a collection put together. -
What exactly was said? What I read from Cora was that it would be a difficult adjustment for Hanley-words to that effect. I didn't get that he thought Hanley would cause problems or anything like that.
-
I think they might keep him if they don't get a satisfactory offer.
-
I was just messing with Natick.
-
The vesting option put DD and Cora in a bad position from the start. They tried to handle it in a smart way, and they still ended up taking a lot of flak for it.
-
Good question. We'll never know the answer to what they'd have done if Hanley had heated up again. Maybe just bided their time a little longer.
-
Blake dreams of being as good as Sandy Leon.
-
He did pounce. That's the perfect word for it.
-
Lars Anderson for Wright.
-
Try 254.

I think they had an entire episode about piss jugs.
