hogan873 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 It would be nice to see Flowers and some of the others they call up do well. I'm not saying the Sox can get back into it, but the games will probably be a little more exciting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Cool. It'll at least be fun to see what these young kids can do. My guess is we might see Hudson too, just so he can see what the major leagues is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Wow, the future just came a bit sooner then i thought. He deserves the promotion, should be fun to watch him play down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 who else will be coming up? anyone have any ideas? I'm sure wise will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Some pitchers for the bullpen would be nice. Nunez and Link maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise and Getz will be coming off the DL. Flowers. Other possibilities are Hudson, Link, and Nunez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Too bad playing Flowers means sitting down one of the few veterans who's actually hitting. Maybe AJ can DH when Flowers plays, or maybe Flowers DH's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe AJ can DH when Flowers plays, or maybe Flowers DH's? I wouldn't be shocked if the Sox pulled out a quick trade sending one of Dye/Thome or even Konerko to another team. Less likely that it would be Paulie, since they'd have more time to work out a trade, but if Thome wants to play for a contender now would be his chance. Basically throw em on waivers, see who claims up, put together whatever deal you can and get something for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very unlikely unless something is already in the works, as the waiver trade deadline is tonight at midnight. I also seriously, seriously doubt that KW would throw in the towel like that.

Steve9347 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Wow, awesome. Stick him at 1B or DH and let him rake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Is there room on the 40 man roster? Cole Armstrong is going to play for Canada in the Baseball World Cup, so that's probably why Flowers is going up. Congrats to my boy, T-Flow.

scenario Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'd call up any reliever who can get the ball over the plate without it ending up in the seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Flowesr will get a game in or two so AJ can rest and Castro is odd man out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I guess since Flowers isn't on the 40-man, I can see Colon getting a one-way ticket to Old Country Buffet to make room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it sucks when a catcher can throw guys out on the bases. God, that's so annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Kenny's lucky he's got Jake Peavy and hot prospects to show off this September. If he didn't, there would be around 20k at every home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
