July 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) Has this been discussed before? Quickly, yes.
July 18, 200520 yr Heard them talking about this on Silvercub and Carmen. They were joking that he wrote that on his cap when Ozzie told him he was going into the game. Maybe he should write "get the bunt down" or "move the runner over" or "I need directions to Charlotte" on his cap.
July 18, 200520 yr Lets just say we make the playoffs, no matter what happens to Willie during the regular season, I think he's a must to have in the playoffs for his ability to pinch-run. It's important to have a guy like that on the bench while Timo would serve no purpose as a fifth outfielder. Willie could get sent down in the regular season over Timo, but he has to be on the playoff roster.

But, if something happens between now and then we may have to bring someone else in or up. But, if this is the way the team is in Oct...you are absolutely right.

Yes, Ozuna is fast, too. But Gooch isn't fast. Don't make that mistake. I'd say we're fine with Ozuna off the bench to use as a pinch runner in a playoff situation. Having Harris would be a luxury.
July 18, 200520 yr I definitely think keeping Willie and ditching Timo is the way to go. Willie is running the bases better than ever now, I think he'll be very valuable down the stretch as a pinch runner late in close games, and because if needed he can play CF, 2B, or SS.

He got injured crashing into a wall earlier in his career, and it was a constant concern, so that's what I associated it with. But, as you like it.
