To me I could care less about Alex Cora. This signing neither makes me happy nor sad. It is what it is...a reasonable contract to a modern day career utility player. Whether the guy has great clubhouse skills or not, it is not a bad signing because no one really cares about Alex Cora. Its foolish to sign a great player to sit on the bench. Cora will get time when they sit Reyes or Castillo for a game or give them "a blow" as Hernandez likes to say (that never gets old). I wouldn't read much more into it than simply that.
