Wilfredo Cordero Nieva!
Your time has come.
Never really took off for ole Wil in Beantown after he introduced his phone to the side of his wife’s face---when trying to teach her a lesson---back in June of 1997. That said, this guy could hit (no pun intended) for a middle infielder.
My father was actually at the game sitting behind the players wives section (after phone incident), when some drunken tool walked over to Cordero’s wife and slobbered, “if he ever hits you again honey, call me. I’ll take care of him.”
The Red Sox were sort of backed up in the infield at the time they traded Rheal “I’m gonna throw the ball sooooooon…..really….. sooooooooooon…..” Cormier & prospect Ryan McGuire for Cordero. He was primarily a shortstop when he came up with Montreal but played some second, DH, & outfield here in Boston. Johnny Val still occupied short in ’96. This was before Val got his panties in a bunch when the Sox had some prospect named Nomaaaah supplant him.
Cordero hit .281 w/18 dongs & 72 steaks in 1997 before hitting the road. He only played a partial season here in ’96.
So, what’s been going on Wilfredo? Shoot me an e-mail at the site and let me know. Smitty & I won’t be taking you for a beer though, we think you’re an asshat.
Live long and prosper.
Or don’t.
Later dude.
