hitlesswonder Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 11:42 AM) Owens isn't really in the same league as Sweeney. Not many people see Owens as much more than a 4th outfielder, it's been that way for a while. What has Sweeney done to be considered more than a 4th outfielder? The Sox will be lucky if he's even that good. Quickman is right -- if the Sox traded their top 10 prospects for Pie they would be coming out ahead. The Sox farm system is absolutely barren.

Sweeney is just a more talented, better player. Has he proven anything yet? No he has not but he's a much much much much much better prospect than Jerry Owens. And the bold part is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it was hyperbole -- would it be better if I just restricted it to positional prospects? Honestly, I'd trade Anderson, Sweeney, Fields, Cunningham, and Getz(?) for Pie. That would, I think, be the Sox top 5 position prospects. Let's hope the Sox draft well this year.

Ugh, felix Pie is not that great of a player. He also has yet to prove he can hit major league pitching. I wouldnt trade fields for him, let alone all of our top spects.
