He put up the lightest high batting average in the history of modern baseball in 2007.

That 07 team was awful. Especially the bullpen.

That was fucking brutal. I watched in disgust over and over and over again. 

So much for Monday being D day.

I just took a peak at good old Jerry's numbers. 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.

He was a precursor to Peter Bourjos (he was technically on our roster for days)...or Juan Pierre, not sure which.

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!

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.

I wake up for work to read what I missed last night, only to find out the last page of discussion is about Jerry Owens. God damnit, this sucks.

I suppose. I totally remember that horrible 2007 season being a showcase for Luis Terrero and my thinking he could be a very good bench player moving forward. ???

I had meant we could have news that harpchado had signed elsewhere, but yeah I had mentally blocked Luis Terrero from memory.... 

• Hey I just thought of something. That guy in the M & M jacket will be thrilled  if the Six sign MM. Melts in your mouth not in your hand.

Or, think of the marketing with Moncada and Machado patrolling the infield.  

What was the consensus on that John Waiijo guy on twitter? Can’t embed (driving) but he seems to have some new nuggets...

Exactly. The Sox could have M & M's be a sponsor and give away M & M's on M & M's Night.
