Today CQ Carlos Quentin came back from the DL today so the White Sox had to send down one of their outfielders. It was between Brian Anderson and DeWayne Wise. And of course the logical choice was to send down Brian Anderson and keep DeWayne Wise on the major league roster!
Right now Wise has a batting average under .200, an on-base under .250, an OPS under .565. He has a .239 wOBA and 1 home run. he has no plate discipline swinging at outside the strike zone almost twice as much as he swings at balls within the strike zone and can barely make contact with balls within the strike zone.
Anderson has a better: BA, OBP, OPS, wOBA, HRs, and XBH. DeWayne Wise, according to fangraphs is worth zero dollars.
Now granted, it's not like Brian Anderson is a huge stud being only worth three cents and is only marginally better than Wise, but still, if a gun was put to my head and I had to choose one, I would of course choose Anderson.
According to ESPN 1000 WMVP, Anderson was sent down because Wise is out of options and he can't really get sent down. FUCK DEWAYNE WISE! WHO THE FUCK CARES IF HE'S OUT OF OPTIONS, HE'S REALLY BAD AT BASEBALL. And as the radio says, you can always re-sign him because NO OTHER TEAM WILL PICK UP DEWAYNE WISE! And if you really wanted Wise, which you shouldn't, you can always re-sign him. Sometimes, and by that I mean often, this management is fucking retarded. Hey, at least he did trade away Mark DeRosa only to end up back in my division right!

Why Isn't Brian Anderson Playing CF!?
Today, the great offensive OF duo of Scotty Pods and Brian Anderson are playing today because the White Sox have absolutely no depth at OF. But Pods is playing center today, even though Brian Anderson (who's playing RF today) is playing as well. What!? Anderson is by far the better defender and the only reason he should ever be playing is because if his defense first! CF is a fairly hard defensive position and a position Anderson has always played! The only reason Pods ever played CF is because Anderson was on the DL! Pods have normally played LF so him playing RF should be a lot easier than playing CF!
Stupid fucking Ozzie.
Stupid fucking Ozzie.
It's Scotty Pods, Mercy!
News came across the wire overnight that the White Sox signed Scott Podsednik to a minor league deal. Scotty Pods is becoming the new Roberto Alomar. The affection of Kenny Williams eye, such that he will always have a job, regardless how low the OPB or little outfield range.
This brings up three points:
1) If Williams is looking for an extra centerfielder, with the (un)fortunate injury to Dewayne Wise, why not sign Kenny Lofton instead? I know that he is more expencive, but he is also much better. At the age of 40, he stole bases at a 77% clip.
2) Why do the White Sox hate Brian Anderson? He has the speed and he has gold glove potential, the only thing holding him back is a propencity to strike out. But Joe Crede used to strike out and Alexei ramirez used to strike out and both those players got all the playing time in the world to flourish. The Sox must know something I do not.
3) The Sox called up Jerry Owens to be the backup centerfielder, but knowing the luck of Anderson, Owens will most likely receive the majority of the playing time. If that happens, then there's no order to the universe and Anderson should just go find himself a playmate a drift into the horizon.
Did i mention Podsednik is married to a playmate?
