I don’t think anyone is expecting Cordero to stun us, except maybe in a bad way for some.
To me, it’s more about being the time or close to the time to give up on Santana.
Cordero is going to get another shot. We traded Beni for him, but that is not the only reason he’ll get another chance or two or three. He has shown signs of being a plus over his spotted career- majors and minors.
If the Sox deemed Duran ready, I’d prefer him over Cordero, and not just because we need OF more than 1B, IMO.
