EvilJester99 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Knowing how PK handled his hand/thumb issue he will probably insist on playing through this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Wise is out of the lineup...the only possible name I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) So, Owens is playing tonight and Fields is heading to the DL. I assume we got something else in mind, or PK isn't going on the DL. Well, they did say that they won't know about Konerko until after they evaluate him again on Tuesday so I suppose anyone is possible yet (with the exception of Fields of course).

Oh my god, who could possibly care about this? Can we please do something? I'd rather see Owens personally. The thing that has really got to me is we get guys on base who can run and we don't! When Ramirez gets on, he should be going. I'd love to see Ramirez on first and Oz put on a hit and run with Orlando. Do something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but they generally seem to have these things lined up. We shall see what shakes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosox41 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) I voted Lofton, but I don't think he would be ready to go. So next up would be Fields. I think we need someone that can drive in runs. Don't we have enough of that? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 08:07 PM) Fields, Cook, and Eldred are all the same all or nothing plodders that we have a line up full of already. Give me someone who will swing for a basehit with two strikes, or punch the outside pitch the other way, just to change the look of the line up a bit. Where did you get the impression that Cook is a plodder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 How bout Fields at second base and Alexei in center? Swish at first. Or just put Fields at first and see how bad he is over there? It doesn't take a star to play first, just ask Mark Teahan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoedairy Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 why not eldred? I know hes not much of a prospect but hes hitting amazingly this season so maybe he'd keep it up on the big club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 05:23 PM) Right, but we that player in the organization right now, and is in your sig. Given the lack of speed with this club, along with Ozzie love with speed, I don't doubt Owens would be matching the numbers Taveras is putting up right now, which isn't much of an accomplishment. There is something to be said about the comparison in defense in CF, which is monumental between the two, and I'm not even comparing the range between the two right now. Taveras might have a major league fastball while Owens might throw as hard as 14 year olds hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Owens would have been able to throw as hard as some of my bombs in little league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 09:07 PM) Fields, Cook, and Eldred are all the same all or nothing plodders that we have a line up full of already. Give me someone who will swing for a basehit with two strikes, or punch the outside pitch the other way, just to change the look of the line up a bit. Cook is perhaps not ready, but he is definitely not an all-or-nothing guy, or a plodder. He has some speed, and he is a high average, high OBP guy who has consistently walked more than he has struck out. With him, the issue is more a question of whether or not he's ready. He just got to AAA. Eldred is definitely all or nothing though, and Fields is close to that but not as bad as Eldred. Fields is a little faster than some of the mid-lineup guys with the Sox right now, but that's not saying a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 QUOTE (Noberto Martin @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) Why does Jerry Owens get so much love? What on earth are you talking about? The majority of people on this site hate Jerry Owens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Oh I would not call Fields a "plodder" either, definitely an all-or-nothing hitter but as far as speed and athleticism I would say he's around where Anderson and Quentin are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
