Whitewashed in '05 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I hope BA gets the majority playing time in CF. If he doesn't it just doesn't get any clearer that he isn't ever going to get a chance to start for this organization again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) As much as fate was against Owens last year, the stars have perfectly aligned for him this year. Aside from drawing walks this ST, he did nothing to earn the leadoff spot. Then a longer term injury hits the guy at his position and a short term injury hurts the guy in his preferred batting order slot.

Pants Rowland Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) Yes the Owens jersey is hanging right next to my Mike Caruso jersey. What, no Fred Manrique or Jerry Dybzynski jersey as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the stars are different in AAA, where he was sitting on the bench as the 4th OF. Getting your worst hitter the most ABs on your team is a bad idea.

elrockinMT Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) You need a 4th outfielder and Owens has MLB experience. Getting called up does not guarantee that he's the starter. I imagine he's going to play too much, but just keep expectations tampered. This is what I would say also. BA deserves the bulk of the starts and JO the sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no problem with Weezy playing CF and hitting 8th or so against righties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 So we're going have OWENS starting in CF over Anderson, right? If that's the case... f*** Ozzie. I'm dead serious. I reallly just don't think I can have any respect left for the man if he does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Who said that Owens will be the starting CF? Brian should be starting with Owens being the 4th outfielder. My concern: Ozzie don't get the idea of Owens leadingoff over Getz/Lillibridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no problem with Weezy playing CF and hitting 8th or so against righties. Me too, and I wanted him to be getting fewer starts, but I didn't mind him on the 25-man and getting time. But he f***ing blew as a leadoff hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Heres to hoping he just plays a backup role. BA needs his shot. Also, I wish Kroger would have been called up, at least he can hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I wish Kroger would have been called up, at least he can hit. Charlotte has had a horrid start. They have 1 guy with a batting average over .250, and 1 guy with an ERA under 4.50, and he's pitched 2 innings. Kroger is 0 for 9 and Owens is 1 for 7 with 3 k's.

EvilJester99 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Can he play CF?? Delwyn Young Designated By Tim Dierkes [April 13 at 4:32pm CST] According to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick, Dodgers outfielder Delwyn Young was designated for assignment today. They'll have ten days to trade, release, or waive him. Young is out of options. Young, 26, hit .246/.321/.341 last year at Triple A but .337/.384/.571 in '07. He dealt with a strained oblique last year and began this season with an elbow issue. Tony Jackson of the L.A. Daily News suggested yesterday that the Indians, Pirates, and Phillies were eyeing Young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
