joeynach Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yikes this outfield is atrocious right now. Dye banged up, Pods on DL, now Mack banged up. Plus couple that with Thome out of the lineup cuz hes hurt too. Did we get really old this year, did I miss us becoming the Miami heat of the American League? Anyway they better get Tererro up here real qucik cuz all we got now is Erstad, Anderson, and Ozuna. I feel bad for our pitchers, espcially young Danks who have to deal with downgraded lineup as well as shotty outfield defense with all these converts out there. To be real honest the blame lies with KW not having real OF's on the bench, at least defensively, instead of the two INF they converted to OF last year. This is becoming very ugly.

This outfield has given up so many runs this year that even adequate defensive outfielders handle. It's getting to be really ridiculous.

fathom Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 You do know Terrero is awful, right? After his hot start, he's hitting .245 and has zero walks on the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Even Jerry Owens has cooled off after his hot start. That .400 OBP is now .359 and his impressive K:BB is now even (still good but headed in the wrong direction.) As of right now there really aren't any hot hitting young outfielders in AAA.

"young outfielders"? Terrero and Owens are both very old for prospects, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrero isn't a prospect, and Owens is 26/27. Although Jerry is raw for that age saying that he played football for a couple of years at UCLA.

Kalapse Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Terrero will be 27 next month and Owens just turned 26 so no they are not young. Fields is 25 and has been terrible thus far this season and Sweeney is 22 but hasn't done much of anything either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So assuming Mack, Dye, and Thome can't play for the next couple of days I'd say someone is getting called up. If it were up to me it would be Owens.

If either Fields or Sweeney can turn themselves around, atleast it would save us money for perhaps one roster position in 2008. Although I doubt either will be seriously considered for a starting position, which is SAD. Edited April 26, 2007 by Flash Tizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson was the defensive guy IMHO. So check one off your list. They're hurting, but its early. We will be fine. Hopefully Mack feels fine in the morning, cause I actually like seeing him in our lineup (he also wasn't converted to the OF last year. He has been out there since 2001, when he came up, has over 250 games in RF, 173 in CF, and over 80 games in LF. FoxSportsNet). Knock out part of another. As much as I hate to say it, let Anderson play, see if he can hit, give him a shot again, theres really no better options right now, and see if he fails or flurishes. And Ozuna, well he's one of my favorites, so I won't say anything bad about him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeynach Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 I was implying getting Terrero up here cuz we need OF's who can field their position. I wasn't necissarily saying we need at add a big bat. If we only have 3 OF's right now we are in trouble. Erstad, Pablo, and Anderson is all we got right now. We need another at least 1 more OF to come off the bench then. We have no depth there right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Anderson doesn't hit this season, I think his career will look a lot like Terrero's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrero is better suited for 1-2 appearances per week than BA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was screaming at the TV to pinch hit for him, but then I remembered Dye wasn't going to play so they didn't have anyone left on the bench...crap. Watching Zumaya blow up was worth watchign that game tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
