I think he meant as far as taking Bellhorn out of the lineup. Cora will be our 2B, which really isn't an upgrade over Bellhorn. Anybody know what the deal with Mueller is? Terry made it sound like he basically is refusing to play 2B, which seems out of character for Billy. Moving Mueller to 2B and Youkilis to 3B would make the most sense, especially since they're facing 3 lefties vs TB.

A lot of people are calling for Hanley or Pedroia right now, but I think the Red Sox are making the right move by not calling either of them up. Hanley is clearly not ready and Pedroia has struggled in Pawtucket while battling a wrist injury.
