zenryan Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Both players are just about the same. They both can play in the infield and outfield but I would give the nod to Ramirez. Both really cant hit and both are right handed. Why not just send Ramirez down since he's got the bigger upside and could use the everyday ABs. This team needs a lefty off the bench bad.Only person I can think of off the top of my head is Lofton. He can he a PH and take over the pinch running duties too.

soxfn4life Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I totally agree. Lofton would add much needed speed and can lead off. You also have Jerry Owens though and theyre like the same player. The problem is, ozzie thinks ozuna can lead off so it's like 2 leadoff men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Maybe the Sox have cooled on the Jerry Owens thing for awhile. He is fighting abig slump at AAA. I was thinking the same thing though about Ramirez and Ozuna. They both fill the same role, but Ramirez I still think needs more seasoning and should be playing at AAA. Maybe Jim Edmonds should be signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Ramirez needs to be in AAA playing everyday at SS... I'd call up Mike Rouse or Jeff Liefer to take his spot on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest reason why Ozuna and Ramirez are both on this team is that they can both back up the infield positions. With Crede's back issues and Uribe's usual performance issues and Cabrera's this year suckitude, we need more depth in the IF than the OF.

BearSox Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 check that... I just realized that Rouse is no longer with the Knights, so forget him. So, either Wise or Liefer then should be on the bench. I pray to god I never see Jerry Owens in a White Sox uni again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Ozuna plays 2B/SS/3B/LF, he's a veteran, he has hit in the past, he's under contract cheap enough as a backup. Ramirez plays 2B/SS/CF, he's unproven, he hasn't hit much yet, he's under a long term deal. Both have their places as utility guys. Owens wouldn't be much better than either of them. Ramirez will go to AAA when Richar's healthy -- most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Ozuna is our only backup 3B, and I wouldn't mind seeing Crede get the occasional day off.... Ramirez could use atbats in Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 QUOTE (knightni @ May 10, 2008 -> 09:15 PM) Ramirez 2B, Uribe 3B. Yeah, but Uribe hasn't played 3B since 2004. I guess he hasn't played 2B since then either...but he's a much more natural MIF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
