In 2007 he only played a little over half a season, and he stole 32 bases. Pretty impressive. And his career 16% K-rate would be considered elite now. Jerry was just ahead of his time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a precursor to Peter Bourjos (he was technically on our roster for days)...or Juan Pierre, not sure which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that I was in much better shape in 2007 than I am now, there were times when I thought *I* could hit the ball harder than him, but he ran like a NFL WR which helped him beat out a lot of those slow, weak grounders to random infielders.

For whatever reason, I remember where I was when Owens went 5 for his first 5 against the Twins in 2007. I was out with a big group and the game was on TV at the pizza place and I remember thinking this dude was going to be a god damn stud.

Back then I basically thought anyone who wasn't outright trash in the minors was gonna be good (I was kinda dumb). I thought Danny Richar was going to be an everyday 2B in the league and I honestly have no clue why I felt so strongly about that now that I'm thinking about it because it's such a stupid opinion. I did think Josh Fields's power numbers were a mirage though so at least I was right about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know about you, but I was only 16-17 years old during the 2007 baseball season, so thinking Jerry Owens was going to be a stud doesn't really surprise me for that age.

The Sox could have M & M's be a sponsor and give away M & M's on M & M's Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
