Nationals Sign Jerry Owens

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | December 8, 2009 at 5:00pm CDT

The Nationals signed Jerry Owens to a minor league deal, according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson. The 28-year-old outfielder has a .625 OPS in parts of four MLB seasons. Owens, who stole 32 bases for the White Sox two seasons ago, will compete for a roster spot in Spring Training.

Mariners Sign Jerry Owens

By Tim Dierkes | May 3, 2009 at 5:59pm CDT

According to Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News Tribune, the Mariners signed outfielder Jerry Owens to a minor league deal.  Owens was designated for assignment to make room for Scott Podsednik a few days ago.

Owens, 28, spent most of last year at Triple A (his third stint at the level).  He hit .276/.346/.316 with 30 steals in 43 tries.  In their 2007 Handbook, Baseball America had this to say about his defense: "He covers plenty of ground in center field, though his arm is below average."

Owens Opts For Free Agency

By | May 3, 2009 at 11:03am CDT

According to the Chicago Tribune, outfielder Jerry Owens has opted for free agency rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Charlotte.

The White Sox outrighted Owens to Triple-A on Friday, after he hit just .083/.267/.083 in 12 games.  He's likely to get a shot with another club, but, at the age of 28, it's hard to see him ever turning into an everyday major league outfielder.

By Tim Dierkes | April 30, 2009 at 9:00am CDT

Links for Thursday…

  • Thom Loverro of The Washington Times transcribes all kinds of amusing comments made by former Nationals GM Jim Bowden earlier this month.  Bowden touched upon Stephen Strasburg, Mark Teixeira, and Aaron Crow.

  • ESPN's Jim Caple talked to pitcher Jeff Zimmerman, who is on the comeback trail with the Mariners.
  • Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune notes that White Sox outfielder Jerry Owens may be on the way out.  It sounds like Scott Podsednik is coming up, but there will be no roster move today.
