Heads22 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I assume this means we've seen the last of Brian Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still behind Swisher, Dye, Griffey, and Owens on the depth chart. Throw Wise in and he's a sixth OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw Wise in and he's a sixth OF. I'd say behind the first three, but he is the #1 defensive replacement. IMO, he still has a very valuable role. Plus, Owens and Wise can't hit lefties and BA is a power hitter against them. And really Swisher/Griffey suck against lefties, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense to have 6 OFers. Wise is definitely still going to play as they'll use him as the #1 pinch runner. Owens is going to be the #4 OF because Ozzie's dumb enough to use a AA player who sucks over a pretty decent choice in BA. Then there is Dye, Griffey, and Swisher.

elrockinMT Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) I assume this means we've seen the last of Brian Anderson. Both were on the roster before. Wise has speed, which is good, but defensively BA ius much better. Now with CQ out we need both guys to step up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA, Wise and JO give the team some flexibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
