According to The Chicago Tribune, the Chicago White Sox are planning on OF Jerry Owens to fill the center field spot for 2009.
White Sox general manager Kenny Williams continues to feel positive about Josh Fields, even though the third baseman had a lost season in 2008. "The fact of the matter is, I have confidence in the players we're bringing back," Williams tells the Chicago Tribune. "Obviously, a couple of them had setbacks [in 2008]. But Josh Fields and Jerry Owens... I know the type of talent they possess. And I think they're going to be assets to us. It's that simple." The White Sox aren't expected to re-sign Joe Crede this winter.Fields stumbled badly after he seized the starting role and showed big power over the second half of 2007. It's going to be a critical spring for Fields, who just turned 26 last week. We haven't forgotten about his power, and he'll be someone to watch closely this March if the White Sox don't sign someone else at third.
White Sox general manager Kenny Williams may still try to find a free agent to fill center field, but he also isn't afraid to use Jerry Owens in 2009. "The fact of the matter is, I have confidence in the players we're bringing back," Williams tells the Chicago Tribune. "Obviously, a couple of them had setbacks [in 2008]. But Josh Fields and Jerry Owens... I know the type of talent they possess. And I think they're going to be assets to us. It's that simple."If the season began today, Owens would presumably battle Brian Anderson for the starting job. Owens opened last season with a groin injury and was never able to regain his major league standing. But he possesses good speed and could be an AL-only asset for steals in 2009, provided he wins a job.

Mark Gonzales, of The Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago White Sox OF Jerry Owens is on the team's playoff roster for the ALDS.
