 Alex Cora: Targeted At Bats? - Sons of Sam Horn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Those particular 43 PA were a decision by the FO/Manager to play Cora against a certain pitcher, presumably because of some internal research they had which showed he would have success in those situations.
Conversely, in deeming that Cora is successful only over a subset of matchups, the FO may seek to acquire somebody who is universally better across all matchups.
Here's an interesting theory: Instead of having a two way competition between Cora and Pedroia, a three way competition mitigates some of the 'under the microscope' nature of the position in ST and the early part of the season.
