Franchy Cordero may look like a professional ballplayer, but he certainly doesn’t play like one.
One of the big concerns with Cordero, even before coming to Boston? Zero baseball instincts. This play from the other night against the Rangers is the latest example. It makes you wonder if he’s capable of playing ball the right way, on even the most basic, fundamental levels.
You can hear Mazz weekdays from 2-6 p.m. EST on the Felger & Massarotti program, and from 6-7 p.m. on The Baseball Reporters. Follow him on Twitter @TonyMassarotti.
