sircaffey Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 "Cleveland Indians Updated:01/13/2005 Alex Cora, the Dodgers' regular second baseman for the past two years, has agreed in principle to play for the Indians, reports the Orange County Register. Cora, 29, who wasn't tended a contract by Los Angeles, likely will play shortstop for Cleveland at least during the first year of his two-year deal, the newspaper said." Options continue to slim down... That is from CBSSportsline.com if you are curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Well this just leaves Iguchi. Iguchi would be nice, but honestly, I have no problem with what this team looks like right now. It wouldn't hurt to save whatever extra money the team plans on spending this year for the trade deadline when we may find better options.

DonkeyKongerko Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Iguchi or bust. Somebody has got to challenge Willie besides Ozzie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaiza21 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Dude if we don't get Iguchi I'm gonna be so pissed. I mean how can you not sign Iguchi after letting another potential 2B slip away, especially to Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I still want to see KW add a veteran INF... didn't have to be Cora, but hope he can pull something out (even though he would be a rookie, I think Iguchi can fill this hole). But it doesn't have to be flashy, I would have accepted a player the level of the Ex-Cub Alex Gonzalez (I know he's with TB now, but an example). I want to see a competent backup... don't want to rely on Valdez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 s***. :banghead I really thought Cora was going to wear Black and Silver this season. I'll eat a little crow. Hopefully, Kenny has something up his sleeve. We can't afford to go into 2005 with a backup middle infield of Wilson Valdez. I'll give Kenny the benefit of the doubt. Maybe this sets the table for a suprise annoucment at Soxfest!? Just bring in somebody to challenge Harris. Anyone. Any warm body will do.

Loaiza21 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Wilson Valdez doesn't deserve to be on this team, he's done nothing to prove he can hit up here yet so we shouldn't have him as backup option #1 for any reason. Spend the money to get Iguchi in here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the money to get Iguchi in here! Valdez can serve as a defensive replacement, to rest a regular or as a short term filler in case of an injury. If someone gets hurt long term, we'd have to get someone ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Valdez wouldnt be a terrible option...He's hit through the minors and is fast. I think unless the MIF we get is a SS, Valdez will be on the bench anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
