September 28, 200817 yr Lets just talk about anything but this season. Who would you want to put in that 4th OF slot? Even if you think they should be starter just vote for one. I was going to put Jerry Owens but I dont want anyone more angry than they already are right now.

September 28, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) we got bigger problems than the 4th OFer Agreed but this time without CQ has been an audition of sorts, whether we planned it or not.
September 28, 200817 yr Jason Bourgeoious. Spelling horrible on that. He is guy who I wish would have had some at-bats at the end of the year since no one else is doing s***, why not a speedy, contact hitter?

Only reason he was promoted was Getz's injury. I think the Sox will re-sign Wise this offseason, and trade Anderson.

September 28, 200817 yr See no reason not to bring back both. Edited September 28, 200817 yr by Buehrle>Wood
September 28, 200817 yr Too bad we can't package Konerko and Anderson together and trade them to the Dodgers for Matt Kemp. Slot Kemp at CF, move Swisher to 1st, and sign Wise as the 4th outfielder. Then trade Thome for anything.
September 28, 200817 yr I always thought Kemp was more of a corner OF. Assuming Ken Griffey Jr starts in CF because I'm just that type of person, I would go with BA as the 4th.
September 28, 200817 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 10:41 PM) Who is the 3rd OF in this scenario? That's what I'm wondering too. I really like Thome, but I want him gone so we can move JD to the DH role. Meaning we need 2 outfielders considering CQ is basically a lock. I haven't been a fan of the Swisher trade at all, partially because I really liked Ryan Sweeney. I don't want to see Swisher in center field. I love Anderson's defense, but I hate his approach at the plate meaning overall I'd prefere if he was a 4th outfielder/defensive replacement guy. I don't mind Wise but there is no way he should start. If Griffey is starting in CF next year there's a problem, however if he was DH and JD was still in RF that would not be as bad. Basically I want a real CF who can field and hit. I wish we had Torii Hunter.
September 28, 200817 yr Wise is a 30 yr old with a career batting average of .217, a .255 obp, and has 19 career stolen bases. Somehow Ozzie played him in all three games in the biggest series of the year and had him leadoff in two of them....he seems to be Ozzie's new Timo Perez. Im hoping that Wise and Anderson are both gone, I don't see them keeping Anderson since they don't appear to like him, and Wise outside of a few games just sucks at baseball....
