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.

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.

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.

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.

Podsednik and Erstad are two of the slowest "speed" players that you'll ever see. This team was doomed from the beginning.

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.

There is no excuse for Sweeney to still be in the minors.

 

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.

If MLB ever goes to aluminum bats, Sweeney would be fantastic!

You got to be kidding me. Sweeney should be playing every day. God what a terrible decision. Sweeney has a future...Owens does not.

 

I laugh at those that don't think Ozzie needs his "speed" guy at the top of the order.

Umm..he posted an 800+ OPS over the past month since being sent down.

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.

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.

There's still some chance Sweeney could become a 4th OF. They might as well give him the at-bats at the major league level rather than Owens.

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....
