Owens has 380 career at-bats, Anderson has 600. Owens is older.
Everyone knows Anderson was the higher ceiling prospect than the track star. Owens wasnt even played in meaningful games with any regularity. Brian was.
I'm all for Brian playing more. As far as Wise, people who say Brian earns it each spring have to hand it to Wise who earned it in the Spring. If that doesnt come into play, then we're looking at Wise vs. BA: two guys who have a career or not hitting.
I just cant see the conspiracy against BA.
But Anderson's 600 have come over 273 games. Owens 380 came over 117 games. Anderson got his shot in 2006, but we all thought he was too young then. If he gets 2 weeks of starts this time around, and proves nothing, I'll be over the Anderson hype. But I want to see those 2 weeks.
