Cordell is a good example. Not a great player or even an average one, really just a 4th OF, but a legit good RF, a capable CF and a guy that can run into one on occasion if he gets a start. He can contribute to a winning club if used properly. Palka types cannot and the Sox have had way too many of those types lately. I agree the list needs to be 6 or 7 more filtered out by start of 2020 Edited July 8, 2019 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Cordell maybe as a 4th outfielder or so moving forward depending on the progress of some of the other minor league outfielders in the system but certainly not as a regular.

I think the white sox are like 25th in the mlb in Home runs. We could use more. Listen I get it - Palka can't run or play defense. And its funny to make fun of him now and make jokes and give each other high fives about how he was a bum. But I remember him hitting some late inning game winning home runs. But whatever, He like 70% of these players won't be a part of this team when it really matters anyway. I take no pleasure in seeing guys like Palka and Nicky get sent down. However, you and I both know they don't belong on a championship team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sox could use more homers also, and they gave Palka almost 50 at bats and got one hit that barely cleared the infield. The Sox have to move on from these guys now if they cannot contribute in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money would literally have been better spent lit on fire but whatever Hahn has strong points FA is not one of them. Cordell kinda sucks but he's dirt cheap and has a couple tools that play, especially as just a 4th OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
