Kalapse Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) The article starts off good by telling us Owens is cut and than it goes downhill saying Wise now the starting CF and lead off hitter. Still waiting for him to draw a walk. 53 AB and counting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) Borderline? I'd say flat out dominant. I can't remember the last time I actually saw that in him though. He's always had 2 issues. Control, and that he pitches worse under pressure. We'll see how things go, but I'm about 60% sure that he'll fall apart again, and we'll see Wassermann or Nunez or Egbert or whomever.

He's 31. KW really screwed the pooch thinking he and/or Owens are major league players, let alone top of the line-up guys.

JorgeFabregas Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) I am interested in this idea that Wise "won" the job. What were the criteria? Edit: actually, he does have a higher OPS on the spring, but that's largely because they happend to announce it after his best day at the plate.

I want to see Anderson take the job from him, but it'll be hard for Brian to do it if he is only getting starts vs. LHP. Sad to see Egbert go. Bittersweet on Owens. I really wanted to see Wise named the 4th OF but I guess my hopes were too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm a BA fan, and this will be his first legitimate shot since 2006. Its all up to him. If he blows or gets hurt, I will move on. I'm going with BA to be the Quentin of 2009. He won't put up the numbers Quentin did last year, but I think BA will put up the numbers KW thought he would. .270 BA 25 homers.

I can't disagree, and the leadoff idea for him or Ba ins downright scary. Still, it's "pop the cork" time with Owens gone. I want Egbert on the roster after a MacDougal trade. Things could work out after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense would say 0, however we are dealing with a couple of huge egos who have been trying their best to go against the grain so they can have the "no one understands what were doing, except us" routine when they are successful just so they can stroke their own egos even more. Its amazing how they run that false modesty act and how many fall for it. When the s*** hit the fan in 2007, they didn't stand up and take full responsibility, just threw out several excuses.

I will not root for someone on the Sox to suck. Sounds like you are more of a fan of the names on back of a jersey, instead of the logo on front. I'd root for Wise to turn into an above average CF but it's never going to happen. I'm sure she's rooting against him because she's rooting for the Sox as a whole. As long as Dewayne hits Ozzie is going to leave him out there and let him hurt the pitching staff. It's not as simple as not supporting one player = not supporting the team. Personally, I've backed Wise as a 4th OF and I think he'd bring some valuable things in that role. But I'll root against him as a starting CF because I want a glove in CF. That doesn't mean I personally dislike him, it means I strongly disagree with what Ozzie believes is the #1 priority of a starting CF.
