Jake Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Rowands been slumping lately. He's 4 for his last 25, and i want to see him finish on a high note. Does a good manager sit him for the rest of the year or let him play it out the last couple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 4 for 25 that's still 4 times better than ben davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Rowand has had few at-bats in the past. Why bench him now even if it's just 2 games. Let him get his at-bats and go from there next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 It is also the first time that Aaron has been the starter for an entire 162 game season. It isn't that big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Watch rowand go 3-5 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 He has already fallen below .310 and it is doubtful he could fall below .300 so play him. If he gets 2 or 3 hits tonight and goes back abvoe .310, I would consider sitting him tomrrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Lead-off HR for the Sox tonight. He should have been benched today though. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I didn't realize he has 24 home runs. Just think if he was in everyday starter this whole year. He would have had a great shot at 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup we could have had two players putting up magglio type numbers for alot less money. I am talking about rowand and lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Rowand back up to .310. I'd give him the day off tomorrow. But that is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I'd play him. Let him take his shot at getting back into the top ten in batting average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I'd play him. Let him take his shot at getting back into the top ten in batting average. I have no problem with that. I didn't realize he was still that close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I have no problem with that. I didn't realize he was still that close. I'm not one that believes in backing into it. Put him out there, let him take his shot and make it happen. He's close and with a little luck he can get there. Either way though, he's really had a very nice year. Good to see it too. He's worked his ass off and had some unlucky breaks along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 why would you sit him for the rest of the year? We got like what, 2 games Maybe he thinks we're goin to the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. I totally spaced on the top 10 possibility. If that were not the case, then I would sit him, because I think that when one looks back, there is a perceptual difference between .310 and .308. Obviously the perceived difference would be much greater between .298 and .300, but you get the point. But since there is something to shoot for Sunday, then by all means, write his name in the lineup and let's watch him go 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
