NorthSideSox72 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 So who will be your target of ire in today's game, K? Wait, let me guess... does his name start with a "J", and end in "erry"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Except for the pitcher and Thome DHing, that looks like it probably is the opening day line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 It's almost decision time on Owens. I hope he has a weak 0-5 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, let me guess... does his name start with a "J", and end in "erry"? Eh, sadly there's no broadcast for today's game, I'll probably be watching the tournament around 3 o'clock. I'll of course check the box score periodically to see just how many ground balls to the right side Jerry can muster off the high 90's fastball of Matt Cain. He might have to own the left side of the infield today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 12:32 PM) Other than J-O in CF I think he has the leg up on Wise. Its really a shame that the White Sox are actually thinking about Owens and Wise leading off, leading the offense. It won't last long, that's for sure. The team sees something in Owens I don't think anyone else does, and the fact he's out of options says to me they don't want to risk losing him. If he must play, at least bat him 9th.

flavum Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm beginning to think the reason they don't want to lead off with Getz is because of politics. They know Beckham is the future so they don't want to be put in a bad position when it's time to replace Getz. It'll be easier to replace a 9th place hitter than a leadoff hitter. Just a thought.

You're reading way to much into this. If Ozzie has leadoff the way he wants it, it would be Owens. He blows, so Getz it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the coach. Of course it's what he wants. I'm saying if Owens would produce that would be Ozzie's ideal scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ozzie has leadoff the way he wants it, it would be Owens. He blows, so Getz it should be. Ozzie may be a peculiar type of person who goes against the grain sometimes, but he's no idiot. I promise you that he is seeing the same thing from Owens that the rest of us are seeing. A weak, hole-riddled swing and an O-fer on SB attempts this spring. That's not what earns you a starting job and the leadoff position. He let Swisher leadoff last year because Swish had a track record of being a very good hitter and he thought that he might turn it around. Once it was clear that Swish was hitting for crap last season Ozzie did what he had to do and moved Cabrera to the 1 spot even though it wasn't ideal.
