NorthSideSox72 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Currently 2-1 sox in the bottom of the 2nd. Anderson with a 2-run HR, and Hamilton of the Rangers has a solo shot. Floyd pitching for the Sox, and Plunkin' Padilla for the Rangers. I despise Padilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Anderson has to make this team as of right now. I hate to say this, but if Owens stays hurt and starts the season on the DL, it might be for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 If Anderson continues on this roll and makes the team, do they put Swisher in LF and Anderson in CF? Would that be their best defensive option at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 People forget that Anderson STILL has a lot of talent. If he emerges as a long term solution in center field, it would be a major blessing in disguise that we missed out on Tori and Aaron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something has drastically worsened since 2006, any OF with Anderson in CF is far better defensively than any other OF we could put together with the guys on our roster. (And if he has a chance to work at all on his throwing accuracy, he could well be even better than 06). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Anderson's all-around game much better then Owens and even Quintin at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, let me rephrase this, I agree that BA is a no-brainer choice for CF at that point, I mean have the Sox discussed this at all publicly. I know you can't go off of what happens in ST, but BA was playing LF while Swisher was in CF. That was a head scratcher for me, even if it is ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, it might make sense even to set up the regular season so that Swisher gets practice in CF if he's going to be the backup there, which he could well (treat it as a platoon between Anderson and Owens if Owens ever gets healthy?)

That was a head scratcher for me, even if it is ST They know Anderson is far and away a better CF than anyone on that roster. He has nothing to prove in ST defensively. What they did not know was how good Swisher is in CF thus giving him the time there. Same with that Bourgoise. Anderson has been jacked around after being handed the job. This organization really turned quickly on him after he strruggled and they watched Mackowiak make a fool of himself then handed the job to Erstad saying they need a number 2 hitter while Iguchi was still on the team. As far as I know anything bad about Anderson's personality has actually come from the team and not really external media unlike many players that are trashed. Anderson chirped about the honies and what not but that was cool until he failed. Think also of the pressure he was under replacing the icon that is Aaron Rowand NOTE I DID NOT USE GREEN. I'd like to see him get a shot as I think he could be a real asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxWS05 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 MMac gives up a walk but retires the side without a run. I think I heard the Rangers announcer say he was hitting 97-98MPH on the radar gun. That sounds promising for Mcdouche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an option left, and certainly has the ability to have a "recovery" season even if he starts off struggling in ST this year or even if he's sent down. There's very little reason to sell low on MMac right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
