Anderson is not playing much, and is 2 for 13 with 6 strikeouts. While I think he has long term potential what do we lose by sending him down and trying Owens? I would give him a try at the top until Pods is back. Timo hasn't done much in leadoff either.

Think of the pitchers he has faced to start off his major league career....

To answer your question, you lose a man off your 40-man roster.

Thanks Gene, I didn't take that into account, although there are a few I could think of doing without.

when he just reaches out and hits the ball instead of clobbering it he does fine.. Hard to take a full swing on some of the hurlers he's face in the last week. Got to make that contact or it doesn't count
