wegner Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Then let him hang around the clubhouse. I am 0% interested in ever seeing him bat in an actual MLB game for the White Sox. He is useless to this rebuild imho. Edited June 3, 2019 by wegner 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely sure how he even fits on our Major League roster right now. He is rather pointless to this team. Not only can't I see dropping an outfielder for him, I'd rather see Palka up as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilson and Cordell are useful players and CF is covered with Leury, who is now at .9fWAR and playing a nice CF. Jay should be put out to pasture. Just cut him. I'd rather have Cordell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Charlie is nice but he has a .270 ba with a .370 BABIP, he has a terribly small iso, and if or when his batting average drops he will not be particularly good. Jon Jay if he looks good would be nice depth and allow leury to play around a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Tilson, despite already being DFA'd once, has an option, so I assume he'd be the one to go down to Charlotte if/when Jay is ready to go. I assume the Sox will give him his full rehab assignment, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 There really is no good reason to waste at bats on this guy. He hit the Hahn lotto. Now stay home and enjoy the $4 million. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 If you split up his career into his first five years and his last five years, the last five years aren't all that much different from what we would get from Tilson/Cordell. Let the kids play. This dude is basically done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would rather just roll with Tilson and Cordell and see what we have, but he could be slight upgrade on those 2. That being said, he has no future in this org, and those two may (albeit a small chance). Let him go on his rehab. Maybe he'll be needed due to injury when he's ready. If not, just release him. Or let him play for a couple weeks and see if someone who take the ~$2M off our hands, and then bring Tilson back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who led the league if I remember correctly in saves a few years ago. Some "find." I certainly give them McCann but as others have posted here the organizations history of free agent signings the past several years has been dismal (at best...) starting with Keppinger and working from there.
