I think he'll turn out to be a very good #4 OFer. Though people were saying the same thing about Rowand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm not sold on Owens yet. His steal numbers are not that great and he plays in a huge park which is great for slap hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though people were saying the same thing about Rowand. IMO rowand isnt THAT much better than a 4th OFer. i think offensively hes a decent 3rd guy in the OF. not many teams in the league play an OFer with a .333 obp and a .412 slugging....not many playoff teams at least Edited August 20, 2005 by daa84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A .905 OPS CF with *gasp* Gold Glove defense is hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Mike Caruso was fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 QUOTE(Jake @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Mike Caruso was fast. He stole 66 Bases in 6 years in the minors. He stole 34 bases in 3 years in the majors. He stole 22 bases for the Sox in '98 and stole 24 for Bellington in '96. Mike Caruso WAS fast. What's your point?
