Has to be Santana right? And I agree. I would have kept him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 (edited) Yes Cordell over Palka, he is better defensively and is currently hitting the ball harder. Edited April 7, 2019 by Chisox378 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had trouble staying awake. Can only imagine how fielders are attempting not to day dream. Nova has been slower than average since he was with the Yankees.

NWINFan Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 The play of Moncada and Anderson has been a source of great encouragement. Almost giving up 30 runs in a three game series is not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I’d rather keep Cordell. Did Palka have any options left? If so, send him to Charlotte and bring him back when Alonso is traded away later in the season so Palka can DH where he belongs.

Yes, Palka does have options left, but I guess since Cordell already was sent down they prefer to send him down as he's already burnt an option? I dunno.

JuliusO1274 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Palka and his below .300 OBP last year was always overhyped. He was never going to become valuable to a competitive team. The sooner the Sox part with him the better. It is a waste of time keeping him in the White Sox lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be fine with him as a mediocre DH batting lower in the lineup but forcing him to play RF as well makes him a negative value player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 If Palka continues his non existent hitting, and Cordell hits in AAA, I bet they are swapped during the season. My money is on seeing Cordell at some point before the september call-ups either due to poor performance from Palka or he or Leury gets injured.

Cordell is 5 months younger than Palka. They are both 27. Ultimately, I don’t think either guy matters much in the grand scheme of things.

greg775 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Looks like we are going to suck at home again. Why oh why can't we go .600 to .650 at home?? 1-2 and looking bad going 1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 6 teams that won 60 percent of their games at home, 6 won at least 90 games last year. 2 teams won 65% of their home games last year, and they won 100 and 108 games last year.

GreenSox Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 IF Palka plays it should be in The field. He will never have much value if he can’t play a position. As for Cordell, Palka, heck throw Delmonico in there. And while we beat on them, how about the work of the true beacon of the future, the clubhouse charismatic, the $9 million dollar man: Yonder Alonso.
