I hope BA gets the majority playing time in CF. If he doesn't it just doesn't get any clearer that he isn't ever going to get a chance to start for this organization again.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

As much as fate was against Owens last year, the stars have perfectly aligned for him this year.

 

Aside from drawing walks this ST, he did nothing to earn the leadoff spot. Then a longer term injury hits the guy at his position and a short term injury hurts the guy in his preferred batting order slot.

Yes the Owens jersey is hanging right next to my Mike Caruso jersey.

 

What, no Fred Manrique or Jerry Dybzynski jersey as well?

I think we're saying that the number of chances this guy has gotten is extraordinary.

I guess the stars are different in AAA, where he was sitting on the bench as the 4th OF. Getting your worst hitter the most ABs on your team is a bad idea.

That was the exact noise I made when I heard this on the radio.

funny thing is we were all wanting wise out of lineup

and tell ya something why not get edmonds

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.

 

 

This is what I would say also. BA deserves the bulk of the starts and JO the sub

funny thing is we were all wanting wise out of lineup

 

I don't think out of the lineup...just out of the leadoff spot. I had no problem with Weezy playing CF and hitting 8th or so against righties.

So we're going have OWENS starting in CF over Anderson, right? If that's the case... f*** Ozzie. I'm dead serious. I reallly just don't think I can have any respect left for the man if he does that.

Who said that Owens will be the starting CF?

 

Brian should be starting with Owens being the 4th outfielder. My concern: Ozzie don't get the idea of Owens leadingoff over Getz/Lillibridge.

and tell ya something why not get edmonds

 

Absolutely!

Put me in the Edmonds camp.

Absolutely!

Let's get Gavid Floyd to play center field. That way, you can b**** about him every day! Woot, new life on soxtalk! Oh wait a minute.

Me too, and I wanted him to be getting fewer starts, but I didn't mind him on the 25-man and getting time. But he f***ing blew as a leadoff hitter.

Heres to hoping he just plays a backup role. BA needs his shot. Also, I wish Kroger would have been called up, at least he can hit.

Charlotte has had a horrid start. They have 1 guy with a batting average over .250, and 1 guy with an ERA under 4.50, and he's pitched 2 innings. Kroger is 0 for 9 and Owens is 1 for 7 with 3 k's.

BA needs his shot.

 

I have a feeling that last thing Brian needs is another jaeger bomb.

Lol, we actually downgraded from Wise. Hilarious.

Should have been done months ago. Yet, here we are.

Can he play CF??

 

Delwyn Young Designated

By Tim Dierkes [April 13 at 4:32pm CST]

 

According to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick, Dodgers outfielder Delwyn Young was designated for assignment today. They'll have ten days to trade, release, or waive him. Young is out of options.

 

Young, 26, hit .246/.321/.341 last year at Triple A but .337/.384/.571 in '07. He dealt with a strained oblique last year and began this season with an elbow issue. Tony Jackson of the L.A. Daily News suggested yesterday that the Indians, Pirates, and Phillies were eyeing Young.

I'd love to grab him from the Dodgers.
