April 13, 200916 yr Oh God... per Cowley's twitter: Jerry Owens gets the call. Edited April 13, 200916 yr by jenks45monster
April 13, 200916 yr Author Latest Cowley update: Ozzie said the only way it won't be Owens is if Ken Williams makes another move before tomorrow.
April 13, 200916 yr Then KW better make another f***ing move. Edited April 13, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
April 13, 200916 yr You need a 4th outfielder and Owens has MLB experience. Getting called up does not guarantee that he's the starter. I imagine he's going to play too much, but just keep expectations tampered.
April 13, 200916 yr What did you expect? Ozzie's going to want a left handed hitting [pseudo-] center fielder with [perceived] good speed to replace Wise. Now who in the organization matches that description?

Now who in the organization matches that description. Jordan Danks fits that description. Even though he still needs to develop a ton to be a regular in the Majors, I'd rather see Danks2 than Owens at this point. Edited April 13, 200916 yr by jenks45monster

How about we let Jordan Danks, who is in high A work on his strikeouts, and getting comfortable against lefties before we move him up. He is not ready.

He is not ready. I just acknowledged that he still needs to develop. Just showing how much I'm against bringing Owens up.

He is not ready. ^^^^^^^^^^^ He has struck out 8 times in 17 at-bats in high A-ball. Imagine what major league pitchers would do to him.
April 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) Sorry to say I called this when no one claimed him, we knew that we would be seeing him again

April 13, 200916 yr This is just bogus. I knew he'd return to. Screw Owens. Take Nix off the DL and have Anderson play CF with Lillibridge as the backup.
April 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) sweet now i can wear my owens jersey again I hope this was a joke... why in the world would you buy an Owens jersey? You related to him?

April 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) I don't want to witness Jerry Owens batting at the Major League level anymore. You haven't - he's never been at a "Major League" level.
April 13, 200916 yr QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) How many times can you "kill" this guy? It requires silver bullets and a wooden stake through the heart. And decapitate him for good measure.
