There is no such thing as clutch hitting. Most, if not all statheads agree on that. Splits like man on second, or runners in scoring position, etc. vary year to year and if you include enough seasons of AB in those situations they converge to career norms in most cases. There are outliers, true, but Cora is not one of them
Kent won't help your defense but he'll add enough offense to make up for it and then some.
Although there is no bonafide 40+ HR slugger on the team you can expect 20+ each from Bradley, Kent, Drew, and Choi (if Tracy plays him).
