He’s proven to be pretty overrated as a manager, but he’s also had a good year at the right time as a lame duck. I don’t love it, but I’m not sure they had better options available, either.

Yeah, I've been critical of Cora but I don't hate him as a manager. I'd say he's been one of the better Sox managers in my lifetime, though aside from Francona they haven't been that impressive. The only other one I'd argue over him is Jimy Williams (RIP). I prefer Cora to Farrell at least.

I drank beers with this dude in the dorm halls on my first night in college. I knew I should have asked him for a loan…
