August 9, 200322 yr What power hitting CF's did you grow up watching?? Since when has CF been a power spot? Carl has averaged 16 HR and 67 RBI over the course of his career, hardly someone who "has power and driven in runs his whole career". Borchard is not likely our CF of the future, Jeremy Reed is. I know many don't agree with me, but I do believe that given the chance to play everyday Rowand will show power. But that is in the future. I am not trying to say Rowand should be our starting CF right now and start that argument because Everett is here and we have to live with what we have got. And there is value to having Everett hit from the left side of the plate. I agree with your post, in general. Power hitting CF's have been the exception rather than the norm. Mays, Mantle, etc... yes. But guys like Lance Johnson, Lenny Dykstra or Lofton are more of the protypical CF'er. I don't know if we can keep Reed out of the Cell's CF. He has been putting up some awesome numbers. I'm right there with you on Rowand. I would have no problem seeing him out there of opening day '04.
August 9, 200322 yr I was not an advacate of the Everett trade and I'm still not but one thing it does do is give us the strongest bench in the AL. That could pay huge dividends in October.
