Gene Honda Civic Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) Sounds logical. Birmingham is in the middle of a playoff race. I don't think they're going to wanna give up their lead-off man at this point in the season. The Sox will make an organizational move, like Leo Daigle again, before they move Owens/Rogo/Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:03 AM) Exactly, he is one of our best prospects and he plays the OF. He or Owens are the logical choices and it appears they feel Anderson is more ready than Owens and that's ok by me. Willie Harris is a 2B, not an OF. I've only watched BA in spring training, but I tell you that guy is so damn exciting to watch. I think he's pretty damn fast, too. He stumbled and fell out of the box and still managed a triple in one spring game I saw! I hope they keep Pods on the bench and just let him heal up completely. He's too valuable to have dinged up and the Sox are too far ahead not to give him time to mend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 So is Pablo or Timo starting in LF today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) Sounds logical. Also, wasn't Pods to be evaluated today in Chicago? Which means if they were going to put him on the DL (a possibility), it would make sense to have a replacement there just in case for tonight's game, no?

Did you try confirming with the same person I did? From what I know as of this point is there are talks of promoting Anderson, but nothing official has happened.

Yup, basically the guy knows there's talk around Anderson but hasn't heard anything about an actual move about to take place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to cut you off on AIM earlier.. something happened to the work connection. I did tell him to "cut the mop" when I saw him Friday night.. he just laughed. He did email me back though - which surprised me. We didn't need his help though. Jr took care of us. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) ESPN 1000 3:40 sports center update"Brian Anderson recalled from Charlotted. Scott Podsednik likely headed to the DL" I hate to see Pods go on the DL but theres a lot of good reasons why he should even if he isn't that badly hurt. To make sure he gets 100% healthy, rest the legs, and to clear his mind on his current slide. I will be very excited if Anderson gets called up, I have been pushing for Brian to be called up for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank the Tank 35 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hopefully they play him tonight!! I'm going to the game, I was hoping for KGJ to be in the lineup, but I guess Anderson will do, FOR NOW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chairman Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 The leadoff spot in the order is incredibly overrated, especially in the AL. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could argue that low-OBP Steal demons like are an afterthought, but a high-OBP lead off man who knows how to force the pitcher to throw everything he has up the sleeve and who can fake him out at 1st all day long, is still as important as ever. Not only does he help set the tempo for the game (too lazy to look up the actual numbers, but Kenny Lofton figured prominently into, it seemed like, every meaningful rally with the Giants and Cub down the stretch a few years back), which is just what this "get-a-lead-and-let-the-pitcher-hold-em-off" team needs.... but also #1 and #2 hitters in the line-up prolong the inning for 3-4 boppers and ensure that they are actually being pitched to. When do you think David Ortiz is at his most dangerous - when Damon and Renteria are on and no outs, or with bases empty and 2 outs? That said, Willie Harris is not the man for the job. And lately, it seemed like Pods wasn't, either. Unfair to ask Jerry Owens to jump from low-Aball all the way into ML in just over a year.
