ottawa_sox Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 QUOTE(TLAK @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) Dye is 4 for 27 (.148) vs Radke, Timo is now 4 for 13 (.308). So last night's move made a lot of sense. Podsednik is 1 for 6 (.167) vs Santana. Ozuna has never faced him. This one looks like more like protecting Pods from a killer lefty while getting Ozuna some ABs. If Santana gets out of the game look for Pods to come in moving Ozu to 3B. I kinda like your thinking here concerning the Pods and Ozuna switch if a righty comes in. In general, though, I am in agreement with Jabroni. I would have started Ozuna at 3rd. I am not too worried about the Pods 1 for 6. He seems to be built for the Metrodome turf. The high chopper in front of the plate. Beating the throw to first because the quick turf allows the ball to get by the third baseman to deep short. Stuff like that. We've already seen how is legs are pressuring the Twins. I am curious as to what Crede has done lifetime against Santana, or more specifically what he has done of late, since Santana has evolved into Cy. I wouldn't be surprised if Ozzie dismisses all of this thought, though, in favour of Crede's glove, given Buehrle's ability ot induce the ground ball. The hot corner can really sizzle when Mark is dealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm in shock, it looks like a good call by Ozzie (both instances). Of course you could argue that going against Santana is when you want your speed at its best (ie Pods). Still I have no fault in playing Pablo, imo, especially cause it means you stack the lineup with righties against Johan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I think Timo would probably become a free agent before he went back tot he minors. So it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't on the team the whole year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
