Chisoxfn Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) Dye and Konerko seem to be sitting. Kotsay will be at 1st. My guess is that the Sox want to get as many lefties in the lineup as possible to go against King Felix. I like the idea of sitting Dye since he'll be able to get two full days off, which will hopefully help him get a mental breather (which should do good things for his bat).

chunk23 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Rios seems to be better suited hitting in the 2 spot. Put Beckham at the 3 hole. He should also be in CF. What are you doing Ozzie? Edited August 12, 2009 by chunk23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kotsay, 1B 9. Nix, 4 Ugh.... I know people are going to be disappointed with Rios playing in RF and Pods staying in CF, but I doubt Ozzie wants to put Q in RF suddenly considering his health status. My guess is we see Rios only in CF this season when Pods is not playing, when Q is not playing, or perhaps as a defensive replacement late in games. Hopefully they will address Q moving to RF next season, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should also be in CF. What are you doing Ozzie? He's not wanting to make wholesale changes. Depending on who is being rested, I believe Rios may find himself batting almost anywhere in the order. Lead off, third, or sixth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the case, they would have put him there when JD was on the injury bug and this is when Quentin was healthy. Instead, they trotted Scott Podsednik out there for a few games. Sox brass does not view him as a RF at all. QUOTE (chunk23 @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 05:30 PM) He should also be in CF. What are you doing Ozzie? So what do you want him to do.. Trout Pods in RF? They aren't putting Quentin out there since he's injured (they didn't do it when he was healthy) I have no problem with what Ozzie is doing today espeically since Quentin and Thome are playing. Now if Rios is in LF and Pods is in CF tomorrow.. then we have a problem. Edited August 12, 2009 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked really Jason considering they could have played him in RF when JD was injured earlier in the season. Remember Quentin was healthy around that time too and still didn't do it. I'm not sure if Ozzie thinks he can play the position and he's been in LF for two years now so I'm sure he's used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I don't think they will move Carlos there until Spring Training at the earliest, where he can get used to it - reading balls off the bat and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I cant believe people are expressing shock that dye sitting would mean Pods in CF, Rios in RF Coming from Ozzie's track record, that was easier to telegraph than a Chad Hutchinson pass Edited August 12, 2009 by Princess Dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
