fathom Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jan 26, 2018 -> 11:14 PM) wow, that's a great update and perhaps lends more credence to the "minor" version of his shoulder surgery story the Sox are selling. Hell, if he's already starting his throwing program you'd think he's only a few weeks behind. Maybe a May debut? He said tonight he hopes to be ready by ASB. So he will probably be ready by 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he will probably be ready by 2021 All Star break? There won't be any reason to pitch him after that. He's out for the season?? Geez.

Bob Sacamano Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Came across an article earlier where Hahn was talking about Cordell. I guess a few teams have called the Sox to try to deal for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn says he’s already had three teams ask him about Ryan Cordell for potential trades since they acquired him last July.

I’m actually pretty excited about this kid. Cordell mentioned in an Athletic article that he feels most comfortable in CF and if he can actually stick there then we might just have something here.

Great, hopefully he can develop into a 2+ WAR CF so that that's the White Sox worst case scenario when it's time to complete, with an upside of a 5+ WAR Robert.

I think we are sort of fine at CF we have three guys who can play the position in Garcia, Tilson and Cordell all are intriguing. I think L Garcia has some power if he can figure out to be a little more selective thats sort of the difference between him being a .700 hitter and a .800 hitter. Tilson is a guy everyone was high on. Cordell has raked in the minors. It's why I never really wanted to trade for a CF like Yelich. We don't know what we have not even with robert but the wave of guys ahead of him. We need to let the young guys play and then figure out from there where we need to fill holes. It's hard to sort of know at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you probably have schoolwork or something and it might not be your 1st priority but it should be near the top. You have a good camera presence , good knowledge and best of all can express that knowledge in a clear precise and unhesitating manner. I could easily see you doing this on the MLB network as the Sox rep just like Dan Hayes did and unfortunatly Phil Rogers still does. You should get an agent if you don't have one. You already have a decent resume with written, in the field work and in front of the camera. If you would like to continue in the sports field and wish to hear more you can message me. I don't have any "ins" in the field or anything but I have a few more suggestions for in front of the camera work that I wouldn't want to put here.

I think raBBit has invested heavily in a career path in finance/accounting and wants to see that through. He no doubt could be a Scott Merkin or Dan Hayes type IMO or even more since he has a far deeper understanding of the game, but I don’t think that interests him at the moment.

TBH, that is a thankless industry that is going through monumental change. These guys have no job security and maybe no future depending on what direction things go into. Information is so cheap and easy to access now, careers like journalism and related areas are just being decimated.

hi8is Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 29, 2018 -> 11:14 AM) Thank you guys for the kind words. CWS is right about my time being invested in business. I am professional services and have been working mostly 60+ hours week since Christmas and it will continue to be that way until the end of March. I have talked about this with SS2K with this in the past and feel the same way as he has posted above. It's such a tough industry. What I would love is to have a podcast or weekly radio show about the Sox that I could do April-September and then in December where I don't have to do any of the producing/editing/recording but it's obviously not easy to find such a scenario. Not only that, but these types of jobs/gigs are few and far between and all of the people hiring for these types of position have a background in journalism/broadcasting and hire people with backgrounds in journalism/broadcasting. Both of my degrees are business degrees. It's a lot of fun and I've met countless outstanding people through it all but it becomes harder to devote time to every month. Yes... "real life" can suck balls. ( says the single father raising a little almost 4 year old tiny heart holding bazooka. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing is great. When the Tigers’ Alan Trammell hurt his arm and could not play tonight, Manager Joe Altobelli named Griffin to the team, partly because he’s a fine player, but mostly because he was here.” He was there. There are higher virtues, but none so easy to take for granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
