Dick Allen Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 06:25 PM) Pods can stay on DL make it 60 days he will get hurt again anyway! It won't be long before he will get injured while on the DL. I see no conceivable way KW brings Barbaro (good one fathom) back next year. If he does, at any price, he should be looking for another job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 06:27 PM) Impressive. For as bad as the outfield has been to date, this is the worst we've seen. One can only hope Terrero gets hit with a renegade tractor so we can see Owens-Mack-Gonz, or Owens in CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 how the hell do you go from winning a WS to this s*** in such a short time? At least Florida dumped all their players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm really going to get a laugh when KW and the chairman describe 2007 as the season where we were unfortunate with our injuries to guys like Erstad, Podsednik, and Crede. They'll probably toss in Thome's name there too talking about the time he missed, of course Ozzie said they were going to give Thome more time of this year. Don't know why they released Perez if they were thnking that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The White Sox are crying about losing their speed. Pods and Erstad. Have they not been paying attention the last several years? Why would it shock anyone they are injured? Its the reason they don't get huge contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podsednik and Erstad are two of the slowest "speed" players that you'll ever see. This team was doomed from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 06:18 PM) There is no excuse for Sweeney to still be in the minors. ^^^^^^^ Seriously god damn let the kid play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 06:22 PM) Do you suppose it's accurate to say that Jerry Owens is a poor man's Nook Logan? Julio Ramirez minus the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 06:46 PM) Julio Ramirez minus the arm. Julio Ramirez knew how to work a count. JR drew a walk once ever 19.2 ABs, Owens . . . every 31 ABs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 06:25 PM) I'm really excited for an Owens-Terrero-Gonzalez outfield. The real disturbing part is that Owens-Terrero-Gonzalez wouldn't even be our starting outfield in Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there is -- dude can't even put up an .800 OPS in a tiny ballpark. I'd guess it would be more of the same as his first call-up -- pitcher's would pound him hard in-in-in.

Chisoxfn Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 You got to be kidding me. Sweeney should be playing every day. God what a terrible decision. Sweeney has a future...Owens does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs his speed guy...I've said it all off-season Kenny really screwed the pooch both this year and last year when it came to not giving Ozzie what he needs (athletes to go along with his horses...ie pitchers). But Sweeney is an athlete and Owens is well a 5th outfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's posted an .839 OPS in June. That's okay, but those numbers don't scream "call-up" to me. It'd be nice if his great tools actually started translating into dominant production.

RockRaines Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 A-gon and Terrero both get on base with more regularity than Owens. Give me Sweeney and let one of those guys sit at the top of the order, preferable A-gon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might as well give him the at-bats at the major league level rather than Owens. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 2, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) He's posted an .839 OPS in June. That's okay, but those numbers don't scream "call-up" to me. It'd be nice if his great tools actually started translating into dominant production. In Charlotte and the shallow talent pool of the IL, .839 isn't that impressive to me. I don't understand why people get so excited by the prospect of Sweeney taking over a starting OF spot. Cue people posting about how young he is and how great his swing looks.... Edited July 3, 2007 by hitlesswonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well, unlike the rest of the Soxtalk crew, I'm not going to bash or make fun of a guy that's had a lot of bad luck in the injury department. It's unfortunate. I'm sure he won't be back next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
