James Kannengieser of Amazin Ave. posted a great article on Alex Cora . I couldn't agree more with James in that Cora simply doesn't bring enough to the table for what he cost. Cora has great intangibles and I'm sure he's going to be a very good coach but at 2M or more the talent he brings to a team simply isn't worth it. Generally back-up middle infielders with better skill sets then Cora cost under...

Adam Rubin's late season report that Alex Cora will likely be re-signed and subsequent fan support for bringing back Cora is the latest source of this fascination. Cora is now 34 years old, coming off a replacement level season in which he earned $2 million. Smart organizations would bid such...

I'm not really sure why the Wilpon's decided to keep Omar Minaya, is it really his contract extension which equates to little more then what Alex Cora would make in a season or do they want a figure head who could easily become a sacrificial lamb if things go bad. It makes sense from Omar prospective to return, he has nothing to lose since his reputation is at an all time low, returning regardless...

This entry is part 23 in the series 2009 Mets EvaluationsThere were points in 2009 that Alex Cora was considered the glue of the team. You might look at that in one of two different ways — either Cora is that great a ballplayer, or the ballclub sunk that low. Cora was — for stretches — [...]

Last off-day before a really long one. I, for one, can't wait for this team to stop their assault on good baseball. The only problem is that when they stop, this clown show is going to try and fix the team. Meet the Mets Jose Reyes has a torn hammy and will likely need surgery . Seriously, I wouldn't trust the Mets' medical staff with a Little League team. People are apparently pretty angry that the...

Here's how I believe a five man bench should be constructed; 1) back-up catcher, 2) corner infielder ( 1B/3B) who's more of a bat then a glove 3) fourth outfielder who is a good defender in all three spots 4) fifth outfielder plays the corners but more of a bat 5) middle infielder (SS/2B) who is more of a defender then an offensive player. According to Adam Rubin of the Daily News Alex Cora is likely...
