May 14, 200422 yr i don't think he's that much of a help on this team, actually i think the playing time he takes away from Choi prevents Choi from getting into a groove. and Conine can play first when Choi needs a day off.
May 14, 200422 yr I voted not sure because sometimes he can play pretty decently,but other times....well you know.No further explanations needed!!
May 14, 200422 yr Would you guys be against a Brian Banks platoon at first when he is completely healthy. Pretty sure he is back. He is a big clubhouse fav so that wouldn't hurt any
May 14, 200422 yr Author i don't think he's that much of a help on this team, actually i think the playing time he takes away from Choi prevents Choi from getting into a groove. and Conine can play first when Choi needs a day off. Right! I agree.
May 14, 200422 yr The guy has one 0-4 game and we're putting up polls as to whether he should be on the team? Did anyone notice he was 10 for his last 31 (.322) before tonight? Give me a break. He's a veteran bat off the bench who can play from time-to-time. We need a guy like that. You're so quick to say Niner can play 1B when Choi needs days off. You can never have too many quality bats. I like knowing Cordero is there in case, god forbid, there's an injury or Choi continues to look like an all-or-nothing guy. He'll be fine. He's been in this role before. Yeah, he's hitting .218, but he started poorly. He's hitting .286 since his little 2-20 slump to open the season, but everyone's too busy ripping him and whining about Choi not being in the lineup to notice.
May 14, 200422 yr Hes not off to a good start but hes a veteran and he can play both outfield and first base i think he'll come around sooner or later.

May 14, 200422 yr Cordero is 3 of 18 with runners in scoring position. Enough said. His defense in left field is terrible. Choi has demonstrated his defense at 1B is every bit as good or better than Cordero's. I like the idea of platooning Conine at 1B, and getting OMGNunez into the game more often.
May 14, 200422 yr How about he just plays less and Choi plays more exactly, i'd be fine with Cordero comming off the bench every once and a while, but not every time we face a lefty. How does anyone NOT expect Choi to get into a slump when his playing time is broken up so much, i would rather see Choi (who is the future) develop. maybe this platooning is effecting Cordero too, (he's had some bad defensive plays as well).
May 14, 200422 yr Cordero will be a good pinch hit. Nothing more, nothing less. He should not start games! Let Abe start some games.
May 14, 200422 yr i don't mind him playing once in a while. especially if Choi gets into a rut. he's done the job in the past. if there's anyone we should be worried about it's Castro.
May 14, 200422 yr i don't mind him playing once in a while. especially if Choi gets into a rut. if there's anyone we should be complaining about it's Castro. I've exhausted myself complaining about Castro. Had to find someone else to complain about. :whistle
May 14, 200422 yr yes, we should still keep him. I understand that he hasnt been doing so good but come on its still early in the season and he will get better!
