  1. One guy I'd say has to be on there is Alex Cora--played 100 games at 2B for us, and has been a pretty solid utility-type for over a decade. Keith Johns only came to bat one time in the majors--and despite his immaculate OBP, I'd say Cora (and the four guys below Johns on the list) beat him.

  2. My bad...sort or. The Red Sox Media Guide didn't list Cora as a second baseman, only as an infielder. So, I missed him when I scanned the lists. Probably should have remembered him on my own though.

    Makes me wonder, though, how does the guide decide when to list a player at a position? 100 games sure sounds like a good place to start.

  3. You really think Jerry Remy beats out Marty Barrett?

  4. Two spots isn't much of a landslide. I was never a huge Barrett fan, I guess.
