Still waiting for the only true top of the lineup hitter on the roster to get a start in the leadoff spot, I probably shouldn't hold my breath.

Still waiting for the only true top of the lineup hitter on the roster to get a start in the leadoff spot, I probably shouldn't hold my breath. I don't think Ozzie wants Konerko to lead off though. Anyway, seriously, I am surprised to see Kroeger still in camp. And playing 1B instead of OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I hope Owens goes 0-5, with 3 K's, 2 limp grounders to first, and a couple misplayed balls in the outfield. I want him GONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke that Jerry Owens is needs to die. i still find it comical that he just focused on his baserunning in the offseaon instead of hitting. and hes been bad on the base paths , to top it off!lol too bad we cant say bye to wise too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Bad start for Jerry, a weak popout to left is about as bad as it gets for him in the eyes of management (remember groundouts = infield pwnage) and I believe it was on the first pitch.

Its pretty sad if Owens fate hasn't already been decided. I don't know why a guy going 0-4 in a spring training game or 3-4 should make much of a difference at this point. If the White Sox see Owens as a contributing major league player, they are in the minority. Let Getz leadoff and let Jerry go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes DA, it's pathetic Owens hasn't had his fate determined already. Why would they cut him early if he's out of options? Not saying he's going to turn it around but there's no upside to it. If your pinch runner Lillibridge gets hurt, you have Owens to fall back on. That's the downside to doing it, there's no upside. I'm glad fan-type passion is absent from most coaching staffs out there. Edited March 27, 2009 by Princess Dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad fan-type passion is absent from most coaching staffs out there. He's still fighting for a starting spot. Why not have the guy who should leadoff during the season get a whirl there before the season starts? The question I have is why ignore what has happened his whole career and base everything on a couple of exibition games at the end of a brutally long spring training? Don't they know Jerry Owens yet? Are their opinions really going to change if he gets a couple of hits? What value other than a pinch runner does he have? Can a team that will carry 12 pitchers keep a guy around just to pinch run? Besides, its not like he's been tearing up the basepaths this spring. Edited March 27, 2009 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad fan-type passion is absent from most coaching staffs out there. Well for one: there's no reason for a guy who probably won't be with the organization 2 weeks from now to be leading off this late in the spring and two: it's not exactly hard to find a pinch runner (and Lillibridge will not be the "pinch runner" he's the utility infielder, something Owens is not), in fact Jerry Owens would be a pretty awful fit since he can't play the infield and he's a pretty pathetic base runner. There are talentless fast guys placed on waivers everyday, if something happened to Lillibridge (oh, god forbid) KW could sign a clone within the hour.
