Line 5:
During the 2004 offseason, Cora signed as a [[free agent]] with Cleveland. In 2005, he appeared in 49 games for the Indians, with 22 starts at [[shortstop]] and 14 at [[second base]], and hit .205 with a home run and eight RBI. On [[July 7]], he was traded to Boston for [[infielder]] [[Ramón Vázquez]].
 
Cora will begin the 2006 campaign backing up [[Alex González]] and [[Mark Loretta]] in the Boston infield.
In Boston, Cora was originally intended to provide a cushion for shortstop [[Edgar Rentería]]. However, with the trade of Renteria to the [[Atlanta Braves]], Cora will take his position as starting shortstop.
 
Alex is the younger brother of former [[Major League Baseball|MLB]] utility player, [[Joey Cora]]. He is often mistaken for his brother and has earned the dubious nickname of Joey Cora, Jr.
