ETBlogs Sports: Cora: I want to be major league manager

  • Ellen · 2 years ago
    Cora's going to make a great manager some day. But I believe he's from Puerto Rico, not the Dominican.

    You are correct. Like Luis Alicea, Alex is a native of Puerto Rico. He was born in Caguas, which is where six major leaguers, including his brother Joey, have hailed. Like Alicea, he is going to be around major league baseball a long time.
    Thanks for the correction.

    Add the Coras to the long list of mythical "sure thing" future managers. Jamie Quirk is at the head of that list.
    Bill when will you be on WEEI next?

    It's usually these types of players that make for great managers. They don't have as much natural talent, and they make it to the majors because they know every aspect of the game. He seems to be one of these players and I'd say he could make his start as a bench coach and easily work up to manager.

    I think Jason Varitek should make Alex Cora his bench coach in 2009.
