DonkeyKongerko Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I saw him on Sports Page the other night and he is all plus in my book. Great guy who can get the clutch hits and lay down a good bunt once in a while. Has great speed and I expect him to post a career best in SB numbers this year with all the running we are gonna be doing. I have dreams about Podsednik and Rowand (now Iguchi too) doing double steals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I really don't think Rowand cna hit in the two spot. We've gone over this before and I still don't get it. I know I like him a lot less than others but I would think even the Rownad supporters would look at his lack of hitting to right as a bad sign for the two-spot. As for the star moniker, what evidence is there that this is going to happen? I just don't see him as a guy that can hit any better than he did a year ago. Not enough pop in his bat to do much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think his average will be in the .280-.295 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
