I might be remembering this incorrectly, but I want to say that he wasn't a terrible ballplayer. Yet, I think because the Red Sox had Wade Boggs at 3B, his future there was uncertain. Hmmm...I don't think he played much once he was off of Boston and to be honest, I don't know if he was traded or sent back down to the minors. Whatever it was, the name Scott Cooper vanished almost as quickly as it appeared.

When it comes to Jim Thome...I completely forgot that he played 3B at some point.

Cooper was an All-Star '93 and '94 before being shipped out to the Cardinals. Didn't really do much after that.
