http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/4145 Recent articles about Jerry Owens en-us Several weeks ago, I caused quite a stir in White Sox blogdom when I suggested the Sox call up and insert Jerry Owens in order to spark what was at the time a slow, station-to-station offense. Turns out the majority was probably correct in that Jerry Owens wasn't the answer. He may soon be struggling [...] Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:12:06 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/285269 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/285269 Several weeks ago, I caused quite a stir in White Sox blogdom when I suggested the Sox call up and insert Jerry Owens in order to spark what was at the time a slow, station-to-station offense.

These scenarios are most likely out of a fantasy owner's control. One of those factors is where players hit in the batting order. FIO staff writer Rich Lerner takes a look at some players who are being affected this year.

We'll get you started with Andre Ethier (OF, Los Angeles Dodgers). In probably the most shocking lineup move, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Joe Torre opted to tab Andre Ethier the starting RF over incumbent Juan Pierre. It's shocking for a few reasons: (1) It's the correct move. (2) Joe Torre tends to favor veterans. (3) Juan Pierre will make $36.5 million over the next four seasons. Ethier might be on short-leash, but at least it's a leash. Ethier is a huge talent who is finally getting a shot, so he's a good option in the fantasy world.

The vast Outfielder Ocean. It's inhabitants are as varying as the inhabitants of the Mariana Trench (the deepest part of the ocean where life barely exists, for those who aren't down with their oceanology.) You've got giant whales lumbering around (Carlos Lee), violent predators (Jose Guillen, Delmon Young), and puny prey (Juan Pierre, Kenny Lofton). Perusing the outfielders is much like stepping into Super Wal-Mart, except you don't feel like killing yourself afterward. There's merchand...Jesus, enough of the metaphors, jackass. Let's break out some sleepers and busters: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:01:19 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/208710 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/208710 An article made about new Johan Santana rumors and a possible Paul Konerko trade to the Angels Sat, 05 Jan 2008 17:06:01 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/60800 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/60800 While The Yankees were pounded the Tampa Bay pitching staff into the ground, the Red Sox bats have gotten hot as well with the White Sox in town. The Sox with RISP the final three games of series were 13-31 with 28 rbi's, that's getting the job done.
