Jerry Owens everyday starter and leadoff man would be quite the Sarah Palin type move.

 

Then AJ can take Konerko's spot as a run producer, and OC can be what he shouldve been from the start, a 2 hitter

 

 

EDIT: and i realize all of that is pretty stupid this late in the year, but the other way of looking at it is we are nowhere near a WS lineup w/o Quentin and Paulie, whereas a quick reinvention of the team w/ small ball focus might be the only way to make some strides forward at this point. Owens would have to repeat his September from last year.

If Paully's out long term - and I agree it looks awfully bad - we really ought to try Griffey at 1B, Swish in LF, and some combination of Anderson/Owens/Wise in CF. I'd also be down with playing Fields at 1B every day for a week or two to see if he can nail down the job.

Swish at 1st, Grif in left?

Ozzie for all his eccentricities tends to be conservative lineup wise... so we'll likely see no experimenting w/ positions, and no Fields. Although I agree that investigating some different uses for Fields this year, considering his age, might have been helpful. As a righty option for DHing early in the year, even.

It's such a deflating feeling to have injury take down a team you live and die by. In 2000 we felt it with pitching injuries affecting our chances... but even then it was more satisfying to go down swinging w/ your stars still going strong. Here our main guys are dropping like flies.

 

It's part of my big problem with the NFL - which would otherwise be my #1 sport if not for the annoying fact that injuries rule the day.

His Arb clock isn't an issue, anyone who says otherwise is either full of s*** or knows nothing about the process.

 

I dont purport to know a lot on the topic, but isnt it basically true that a player's arb clock starts the moment they're put on their first in season major league roster?

A four man rotation would potentially kill Danks and maybe Floyd.

I agree. There's no sense in doing that. This team's chances at winning anything meaningful went out the window with Quentin's injury. Even with Konerko, this would be a horrible idea.
