White Sox Searching for Leadoff Man

Real Need is a Major League Center Fielder
There's no denying that Jerry Owens is well on his way to playing himself off the White Sox opening day roster with his predictably lackluster spring performance. Earlier in the week Ozzie said Owens was "fighting for his job," and Wednesday Kenny Williams noted that speed (read: stolen bases) was not the single most important factor in the Sox search for a table-setter. Then Dewayne Wise got the start in CF and a couple of hits in Thursday's Cactus League tilt with the Royals.
Unfortunately for Owens, and fortunately for us, Wise continues to perform well, going 2-4 Thursday with a SB. The stolen base is the first successful attempt for a Sox leadoff cadidate this spring. Owens and Brent Lillibridge were a combined 0-4 on the spring. Wise performance Thursday, along with his replacement-level respectability late last season, now have him as the leadoff favorite. One problem.
Leadoff is not a position
At this point, it almost goes without saying. If I'm going to write about the Sox leadoff candidates, you're going to see a Leadoff is not a postition tag. Obviously, somebody has to lead off. I'm just saying the point is to put the best 9 hitters/fielder on the field as often as possible. And honestly, the shift to Wise is a step in the right direction. But it highlights the Sox biggest weakness.
The Sox Lack a Major League Center Fielder
Wise and Brian Anderson, who has been playing just as poorly as Owens in AZ, might be able to piece together a low-OBP, plus-SLG average-defensive centerfielder, if their utilized optimally. But it seems to me that the optimal usage for both players is as a backup.
It's when the Sox try to piece together a lineup with a Wise/Anderson platoon, that the lack of leadoff options becomes apparent. If either was a competent major league starter (read: able to post a league-averagish .330 OBP), we wouldn't be having the Who Is Our Leadoff Hitter? conversation.
Wise had his most prolific stretch of production at the major league level with the Sox last year, and that spanned just 129 at-bats, during which he posted only a .293 OBP. Presumably, if Wise was to be used as a leadoff-man he would primarily be used against RHP, but Wise posted just a .310 OBP againt righties last year.
Wise's possible platoon partner, Anderson, may have smoked lefties to the tune of a 8 HR in 80 at-bats, but he posted just a .262 OBP against southpaws.
It's not just that the two aren't good leadoff candidates. They're not good candidates for 300+ at-bats.
Possible Lineups
Officially, the Sox haven't floated any Alexei As A Part-Time Leadoff Man balloons. But the leadoff candidates against left-handed pitching appear to be Anderson (No, as covered above), Josh Fields, and Ramirez.
Fields would be an unconventional choice. And Guillen is not immune to unconventional decisions (see: last season). Fields crushes lefties, absolutely destroys them. But he hits them so well, you'd prefer to have him in a position to capitalize on his awesome power against them. So until we start seeing him taking some hack at the top of the lineup, I think, by process of elimination, Alexei might be part of a leadoff-platoon.

He told me he hates being called "Darsh."
Also, he misspelled “candidate” and left off a possessive indicator off of “Wise” in the second graf.
Otherwise, nice work Darshan.

Nice post
My one hope is Getz performs very well the first couple months of the season and is moved to the top of the order. Ozzie might not start a newb out at leadoff but he has shown some flexibility in the past if a player lower in the order does well.

That was sort of
my thought. I think batting him first will be perceived as putting too much pressure on Getz at the start of the season (whether or not it really is), but if he demonstrates an ability to get on, I could see such a move being made in the second month of the season. Having said that, I can live with the two batting orders Cheat posted (and good post, Cheat).

I was surprised Kenny didn’t offer him a contract. His deal with the Angels was only, what $5 mill? (Only $5 mill in this economy….sigh….) The problem is that he’d be an absolute butcher in center field. Does anyone know if Jordan Danks is actually good at baseball?

Tony Gywnn Jr. out of Milwaukee
The Brewers need more pitching, in general, and Gywnn has showed some promise when given the chance, but that’s the thing. He hardly gets consistent playing time. Very good speed, good defender, and he has good genes.
Plus he’s out of options.

Besides, all those thinking Beckham should come North are now worried about pushing the 24 year old Getz? The guy who’s actually improved in the minors?

Kenny intervenes for the good of the club.

yes. i certainly agree that putting getz at the top of the order is unncessary, especially considering the fetish people have for "leadoff".
cheat talked about this before and i agree with it, but more for the general “rookies struggle to start their careers about as often as not” thing. adding this silly being leadoff man garbage to getz is just unnecessary. the guy has got enough on his plate right now trying to hold off basically the entire organization for a job (or, if you believe cowley, overtake some guy who has stunk at the major league level and is currently hurt).

I don't know why it's automatically assumed he won't do well with the pressure.
Some guys would enjoy the confidence boost of a manager putting them at the leadoff spot in their rookie year.

like guys who have done it before?
i’m not aware of getz ever doing it, at least not on a consistent basis. with all the ridiculous garbage that gets tossed around as “necessities” for the leadoff position (bunt, make contact, walk, steal bases, lalalala) i’d prefer getz just focused on doing what he does best and not having to field questions about why he doesn’t steal more bases or having pressure to change his game to conform to the stereotype.
and maybe ozzie saying “i’m not going to leadoff getz” is him determining that getz wouldn’t enjoy the confidence boost from his manager batting him leadoff.

Take Beckham for example, he’s never led off, but going by his personality he’s displayed so far do you think he would have a problem with that pressure or attention? Just pointing out that it’s not guaranteed that it would be a negative for the guy because it’s his first year. If you are suggesting that Ozzie is doing it becaue he doesn’t think Getz has that kind of personality then so be it, but just b/c someone is a first year guy doesn’t mean he can’t deal with it.
Plenty of people out there who perform a lot better in a situation just by others having confidence in them in baseball or life.

Alexei for leadoff balloon right here
Yes he does strike out too much. Even if he does not improve his plate discipline (which i hope and think he will) i still think Alexei is the best Leadoff we’ve got right now. He’s got the speed and the pop in his bat (nickname is friggin "missile") why the hesitation? Assuming the leadoff role may help alexei develop a little plate discipline. If leadoff is SO important why in the world not give Alexei a chance to compete if the options for the most important position in the batting order are Owens, Getz and Beckham?

Beckham/Getz/Ramirez
I have a (stupid) question. Maybe someone brought it up earlier or on another post, but why is there a refusal to consider moving Lex (I refuse to call him ‘the missile’, I like the nickname LEX better) to center field, keeping Beckham at short (which is kinda what he wants to do) and making Getz your 2nd baseman? Nix and Lillibridge = bad, like, Mike Singletary as head coach bad, so they’re out of the equation.
Lex was our opening day center fielder last year, and wasn’t terrible. Why not keep Beckham at his natural position, and ask Lex to move? I don’t remember him being terrible in center, but I’m an idiot and very tired so I’m most often wrong about things.

Alexei played SS in cuba, if he has a "natural" position, it's SS

you missed the boat
“che” is the Argentinian equivalent of “bloke”. the Cubans nicknamed him “Che Guevara” since Guevara himself called other Cubans “che”. hence both the origin of the phrase and the man himself are Argentinian, not Cuban. If you called a Cuban guy “che” there’s a good chance he might take offense.

Play your best players at each position and it doesn’t matter what order you play them in, if it does make a difference it’s somewhere around the ‘fuck all’ mark.

Friday’s lineup against San Diego features Dewayne Wise in the leadoff spot and Jerry Owens batting eighth and playing left field.
http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2009/03/white-sox-friday-updates.html
don’t even need to say where wise is playing: CF and leadoff are together.

How often did OC or AJ get on base last year? It was a pretty marginal 1-2 combo, and Quentin still had a strong offensive season.

PEORIA—The recession is also hitting the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post of East Peoria as fewer Veterans are lining up to join.
Post 2078 Representatives there tell us they lose about 25 members every year. As those who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam pass away.
Veterans say for the past two years they’ve lost $2000 in dues every month.
With less money coming in than what they have to pay in utilities, members say the post’s future is looking bleak.
Post Commander Bill Gould said, "It gets kind of discouraging to see the same faces over and over…it means we’ll have to move somewhere else, sell the building."
The post is down 150 members since the year 2000.
Post representatives say they only have six Iraqi veterans who are members and are hoping more will join.
It costs $33 to become a VFW member, and costs $28 every year thereafter.

I don’t think there are any laws levied against individuals but rather against institutions like banks and credit card companies which are supposed to block money transfers to the gambling sites. I personally have not had any problems depositing money from my credit card to sites and I haven’t encountered too many folks who have had problems.

TD — any hold-em must reads that you’d recommend? I’m going to purchase David Sklansky’s “Theory of Poker” in the coming weeks and make my way through that. I’ve purchased some of the other 2+2 stuff and I generally enjoy their stuff…

sit and go planet is a great website mate
loads of good articles for free.
I never ever play cash games only tourneys for small buy ins. There was one tonight only £2 to buy in with the top 50 all collecting money.

Ive read it.
Its pretty good. A more general book that goes over “higher” level thinking.
As for hold em, Harrington I and II for tournies are a must . You can skip the III (workbook)
I also enjoyed slansky’s book on nl cash games. Much better in today’s game.
If you have other specific games I can tell you the best stuff available for it.
I play a lot of h/l poker and multi table sit and go’s.

Do you like belonging to clubs that will have you as a member?
I’m doing this in between managing to open new accounts, talking with someone about his best friend’s death in Mexico 3 weeks ago, collecting rollover checks, e-mailing clients, and swilling coffee. You kids need to munti-task more.
And it’s a full moon and Friday the 13th. I just might start a FanPost called “Which SSS’er Would Be Most Likely to Stab a Fellow SSS’er in the Neck”. Because we are NOT talking baseball today. OK?

CHONE says MM,
because he’s quite volatile coming off the crack, plus obviously has history where he has to “leave town until things cool off”.

i think that's right.
nate needs to break up his “felon” category into non-violent v. violent crime. and his “english” category into scouser v. non-scouser.

Sickels initially called MM too...
But after watching some Spring Training, is almost banking on Chiburb, citing age-related dementia.

MM makes the most sense, but i've got u-god as the dark horse
all that ‘the wire’ obsession coupled with anatomy knowledge.

Speaking of golf,

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Cubs fan here
I’m not gonna be one to come over here and troll either, I just wanted to make some trade thoughts. Here’s my thoughts. The White Sox should trade Konerko to maybe the Angels, for some prospects, who might indeed be looking for a first basemen, I don’t think Morales is good enough for an everyday 1B, especially for a team that’s trying to win a title. They can then call on Brandon Allen to be their everyday 1B (I do expect some criticism from that but baseball prospectus loves him, as they have him hitting 20+ homers). That will clear some salary space, so they can sign Ben Sheets, who can be added to their rotation at midseason at the earliest, but it will make a huge difference on what I think is a falling and bad rotation (that’s just my opinion). Well, what do you think?

Kotchman?
a 3 way deal with the Braves? I like it…
Let’s work it out and trade Konerko to the Angels, the Angels send prospects to Atlanta, and we get our 5th starter, Javier Vasquez!!! Excellent idea!!!
