May 31, 200619 yr Rowand's first 2 FULL seasons Avg. .258 Hrs. 7 RBI. 29 K's. 54 .287 6 24 21 Now Avg. .307 Hrs. 6 RBI. 18 Crede's first 2 Full seasons Avg. .261 Hrs. 19 RBI. 75 K's.75 .239 21 69 81 Now- Avg. .309 Hrs. 8 RBI. 33 K's. NA Anderson is doing just fine right now...He is where he should be, lets settle down and let him grow
May 31, 200619 yr please. Anderson is hitting .164 with 2 doubles as we turn the calendar to June. He's unlikely to smell .200, much less .225 by September. he needs to take the next flight to Charlotte.

He's unlikely to smell .200, much less .225 by September. he needs to take the next flight to Charlotte. And our centerfield defense will be beyond brutal with Mackowiak out there full-time. We'll lose more games because of bad defense than we will because of BA.
May 31, 200619 yr I get your point...but there's a difference between "Just fine" and what Anderson is doing right now.
May 31, 200619 yr Author Not comparing him to this player is no way cuz its wrong BUT....Anderson is kinda like Henry Blanco....He is an amazing defensive player and struggles with the bat...But one difference is that BLANCO SUX

I think I'll ignore that. QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 31, 2006 -> 05:58 PM) Amazing? now he's Jim Edmunds. sorry, but I haven't seen the evidence of that. Top 10 defensive centerfielder in the game already.
May 31, 200619 yr if you're hitting .164, you'd better be more like Top One. plus, can you imagine how badly folks would be dogging Crede or Dye or Iguchi if they were hitting .164? why do people give this kid so much slack? He's been horrible for two months. It's nearly June, time for serious baseball. It ain't working.
May 31, 200619 yr Maybe we should get some suggestions as to who the Sox should get to play centerfield? Erstad? Hunter? At this point I don't see many options out there. We could always put Podsednik out there. That'd be brilliant.
May 31, 200619 yr He's been so solid on defense, but just like his supporters want to give him a few more months with the bat before they call him as brutal as he is, I wanna see him out there longer with the glove doing what he's been doing consistently before I call him amazing.

May 31, 200619 yr I personally don't think BA being in the line-up is costing the White Sox wins. I think KW should use all his resources on the bullpen, but one CF who might be available at a reasonable price and could probably give you 2005 Aaron Rowand offensive production and has a decent glove is Gary Matthews Jr. Edited May 31, 200619 yr by Dick Allen
May 31, 200619 yr give the kid some time. his defense is keeping us in games as much as his bat is hurting us.

I doubt Texas would trade him, though, considering they believe they can win the division.

May 31, 200619 yr QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 31, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) Matthews would be fine. I doubt Texas would trade him, though, considering they believe they can win the division. They need pitching. He's definitely not a cornerstone of their team.
May 31, 200619 yr QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 31, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) I think I just felt vomit in my throat. I don't think he's needed, but he's actually been halfway productive the last couple of seasons, and is hitting .308 this year with a .374 obp, a .547 slugging pct. which means his ops will pencil out to an excellent .921, plus he is better than average defensively and hits from both sides of the plate. Last year he had a higher ops than Rowand although Aaron had a .009 advantage in obp. They were pretty similar offensively. Edited May 31, 200619 yr by Dick Allen

May 31, 200619 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 31, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) In Arlington. USCF happens to be a hitter's paradise as well. Matthews is hitting better on the road this year anyways, and last year hit only .219 in Arlington. Edited May 31, 200619 yr by Dick Allen

May 31, 200619 yr QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 31, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) I'll take one poor at bat out of nine for good defense in centerfield anyday. Unfortunatly it's not one poor at bat it's two, with Juan (I don't need no silly leg kick) Uribe setting the table for Mr. Anderson.

Two isn't. If we can't get somebody really cheap (like Sarge Jr.), we're better off just dealing with a BA/Mack platoon in CF. Anything in the minors that's of appreciable value should be spent on the 'pen.

I'd make him Greyhound his ass back to the minors. Edited June 1, 200619 yr by MSHAWKS
June 1, 200619 yr I think if Brian made more Rowand or webgem catches people would think more of his D. Because the man gets good jumps so he can just camp under a ball of get it on a jog, people aren't thinking he's as good as Rowand. He catches stuff Rowand would've had to dive for and he makes throws Aaron couldn't have. Would people send down Aaron if he was hitting .160?
