August 19, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) Young is gonna kick some serious ass in the future. so is Owens. He is going to be a nice lead off guy some day.
August 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) so is Owens. He is going to be a nice lead off guy some day. I think he'll turn out to be a very good #4 OFer. Though people were saying the same thing about Rowand.
August 19, 200520 yr I'm not sold on Owens yet. His steal numbers are not that great and he plays in a huge park which is great for slap hitters.

IMO rowand isnt THAT much better than a 4th OFer. i think offensively hes a decent 3rd guy in the OF. not many teams in the league play an OFer with a .333 obp and a .412 slugging....not many playoff teams at least Edited August 20, 200520 yr by daa84

A .905 OPS CF with *gasp* Gold Glove defense is hard to find.
August 21, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jake @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Mike Caruso was fast. He stole 66 Bases in 6 years in the minors. He stole 34 bases in 3 years in the majors. He stole 22 bases for the Sox in '98 and stole 24 for Bellington in '96. Mike Caruso WAS fast. What's your point?
