Ozzie Montana Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Rowand is here and will be here in the future. He fits our team perfectly. One that specializes on defense and speed. He is a tremendous CF with terrific range and he sacrifices himself on whatever situation calls him to. He was on a slow start the first half but even with that he is htting .286, 36 RBI, and 5 HR. He has also added 12 SB. In the last five games he is 10-for-21 (.476). I expect a solid second half from rowand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Rowand needs to fix his swing a little...his power numbers are WAY down, and I think it has something to do with his new 75% swing, he never seems to follow through and uses the old 1983 "official" White Sox one handed swing.

Kyyle23 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) Rowand pre and post all star break numbers 2004 pre ASB .298, 9 HR, 18 doubles, 1 triple, 21 RBI post ASB .319, 15 HR, 20 doubles, 1 triple, 48 RBI 2003 pre ASB .250, 3 HR, 28 doubles, 0 triples, 14 RBI (111 AB) post ASB .370, 3 HR, 17 doubles, 0 triples, 10 RBI (46 AB) Small sample size for Rowand, but all signs indicate he is a much better hitter after the All Star Break. Im glad that we are ready to jettison him after the year because Brian Anderson is "clearly ready for the show".

ISF Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Rowand compares favorably to most CFs in the AL both offensively and defensively. He also is reasonably priced given his comparison to league CFs. Exactly what was the valid argument for shifting/trading him? I'd much rather trade Anderson. If we're looking at the future in CF, that will likely be Chris Young if Rowand gets too expensive.

bighurt2719 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 why in god's name should we trade rowand? hes a great center feilder. despite his low home run total, his clutch hitting is unreplacable. why does anyone want to throw a cog into the machinery when its running so well???

I didn't say we 'should' trade Rowand. I was saying that it is conceivable that we might because you don't get something for nothing.

GoodAsGould Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I just hope he can increase those power numbers... A lot of people thought he would get 30 some this year... I was hoping more on the lines of 25 but now ill take 15 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I guess with Rowand it's just what people would prefer. His good clutch hitting or a CF with a much better OPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
