Dick Allen Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I’ve never heard of a 1B/OF coach, but the White Sox have cornered the market on 1B/OF even if they really aren’t 1B or OF so it makes sense. Nevermimd, I get it now. Edited November 7, 2023 by Dick Allen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the comparison we saw in sizes between their coaching staff last year and the Cubs staff and front office, "Extra guys slotted somewhere" will have plenty to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To distinguish from anyone who deals with minor league prospects...whether as a roving instructor or role like Mike Gellinger used to occupy. He was actually far more accomplished than Getz but had major health issues that blocked his career advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
