three weeks left until they have to make a decision, so plenty of time for Anderson to turn it around. Of course...lots of time for JO to do the same, damnit.

It could and it might just be considering he hasn't gotten a single inning out there this spring and Bill Melton (not the best source of information to say the least) keeps comparing him to Ross Gload. The fact that he's played more 1B than CF tells me the Sox may see him as more of a corner OF/1B type. A Lillibridge/Kroeger CF would be interesting though with 207 total chances in centerfield between them since 2005.

 

Kalapse, just curious...what do you do besides eat, sleep, and have sex with White Sox baseball?

Wow, talk about your anemic offensive line-ups...this is one of the most anemic possible that Ozzie must have drawn out of a a hat.

 

No Quentin, no Alexei, no Dye, Thome still out with the iffy back, no Viciedo, no Beckham. And pitchers batting.

 

 

LOL, and the Sox go out and win 15-4

What I've read is that he has slightly above average speed so he is passable in CF. He has also played CF in the minors though not much. If he plays a corner OF that would lead one to believe that he has at least an average arm. I wouldn't mind seeing him out there over Wise/Owens. He has potential and we already know what those other two bring to the table, their poor route running really negates their speed in CF, if Kroeger can get good reads on the ball I'm sure he'd perform as well as those two with much more hitting potential.

There is far, far more to playing CF than speed. speed alone doesn't make a player passable in CF.

 

I'm gonna start a new thread for the 3pm game.
