April 30, 200916 yr Per Cowley's twitter. BA will be looked at again Friday Edited April 30, 200916 yr by WSoxMatt
April 30, 200916 yr Hopefully BA gets back out there asap. I would hate for him to be out for a while and lose his job cause of Ozzie's love for Wise. (or even Pods for that matter... SPEED BABY!!) Good to hear on Getz to. We really need him out there the most. JI JIM THOME.
April 30, 200916 yr Good news. So Pods takes Owens' spot, Getz and Thome stay, and that just leaves BA as a question mark. So... I HOPE that Getz still leads off when he returns, and not Pods.
April 30, 200916 yr That's good news. Esp. with BA...if they're re-examining him tomorrow, that means that it's not so bad that he's an obvious DL candidate for a long period.

I HOPE that Getz still leads off when he returns, and not Pods. The way that Getz was hitting, there is no way he isn't the regular leadoff hitter. Getz is the grinder that Ozzie has been searching for.

Getz is the grinder that Ozzie has been searching for. If Pods can hit and get on base like he used to (i know it's doubtful), I think Getz is better suited as #2 hitter. He could be the new Iguchi.
April 30, 200916 yr If Pods can hit and get on base like he used to (i know it's doubtful), I think Getz is better suited as #2 hitter. Man that would be somethin. And you know for a fact Ozzie will run Pods at leadoff. It's a given. And yes Getz is an outstanding 2 hole hitter. His career stats as the 2 guy in the minors is really, really good. (had his best stats in the 2 spot)

April 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) In about 2 years Who will be our DH next year? It's easy to see a situation where they would rotate Allen and Konerko at first and DH.
April 30, 200916 yr If Pods can somehow resemble his 05 form, our lineup just got a helluva lot more dangerous... defense be damned.
May 1, 200916 yr Scott Podsednik hasn't been anything close to his 2005 self since 2005. If anybody thinks Podsednik will be anything but a placeholder is dreaming. The only thing that is generally true about Podsednik is that he's a better player than Jerry Owens.

And that his wife is smoking hot.

(had his best stats in the 2 spot) But if Pods is in the lineup, doesn't that mean that he'll play CF? If that's the case, I'd rather go with Getz leading off and using Pods as a 4th outfielder (and especially a pinch runner).
