valponick Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 As far as I am concerned Ozzie CAN NOT take Aaron out of the leadoff spot the rest of the year (assuming we don't pick up a prototypical leadoff man). I know he doesn't have the blazing speed, can't lay down drag bunts or do other things like that but he has the best HEAD for that spot. He is old school and plays the game right. He can hit for average and power, has been successful stealing bases and doesn't strike out a whole lot. This is just ones man opinion but I feel best when Aaron is leading off rather than Willie, Uribe or Timo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Rowand has really raised his game, and he looks VERY confident at all aspects of the game right now. I agree, he must remain at the leadoff spot for the forseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Rowand is starting to develop into a very nice player to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I don't know about leadoff, because he is a little unconventional, but you could almost make the case for ARow hitting 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Rowand better be either 1 or 2 for the rest of the season. I'd prefere him at 2 but right now there is nobody worthy enough to be lead off so it should be his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put him in the 3 spot too. Move Carlos down to 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Aaron should bat in the #1 spot for the remainder of the season and Timo in the 2 hole. Harris should spend some time in Triple A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reesdi Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I don't know about leadoff, because he is a little unconventional, but you could almost make the case for ARow hitting 3rd. No, that's just recipe for disaster - he'll start pulling and uppercutting again trying to justify the move. He was a .230 hitter when he was doing that. Don't look now but Willie got on base twice again. Against a right-handed pitcher, he should be leading off, with Aaron in the 2-hole where he'll see fastballs in front of Carlos and Konerko and with Willie hopefully on base.. Against left-handed pitching, Aaron leading off is fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 you could almost make the case for ARow hitting 3rd. Yeah, you could. He definitely has a good enough avg. and gets on-base enough to be there. However, then we have to have willie and uribe/valentin in the leadoff and 2 spot, which doens't make me too excited.
