T R U Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I voted no. He SHOULD be traded, but I bet that he doesn't.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) I'd be interested in hearing if this is a gut thing too, Rock. Most of the time if you say it, there's usually some truth behind it. Coupled by rumor, logic and gut feeling, i'd say A.J. is a goner. Edited June 9, 2010 by Thunderbolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Gone to Texas? The only other team I heard about was Milwaukee, but I doubt they would take on the salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Send him to Texas for Phillips so my prediction can be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 What teams in contention need a catcher (or perhaps a left handed bat for catcher/DH) ? Texas has come up, I don't recall seeing anyone else in the mix. What is the asking price? Major league ready prospect? C+ type talent?

T R U Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 If AJ gets traded, I will most certainly expect Konerko and some relievers to follow him out of town before the deadline.. If AJ is the only one who gets moved, I will be very disappointed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I think AJ is still our best option at catcher as Flowers is not performing at AAA, but my feeling is several Sox will be gone either within the next 5 days or 3 weeks depending on their status. This off season coud see Ozzie and/or KW gone also. I would prefer KW be sent packing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to come up and be given a chance to show something, and honestly, I don't see there being much of a dropoff between the two.. If the person playing catcher for the White Sox is going to hit .200 you might as well go with Tyler Flowers to see if he is going to stick here.. move AJ and get SOMETHING for him..

SoxAce Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm going to hold off hope that Flowers' May was just a bad month. April: .323/.432/.613/1.045 May: .122/.215/.280/.496 June: .263/.391/.684/1.076 (small sample size so far though) Hopefully he continues to perform this month. (didn't he say he is going back to his old swing? Might help him there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yes, Flowers was doing some serious swing work at the start of May, and said he was trying to go back to it after a few weeks of struggling. His problem continues to be K's. He's struck out 8 times in 19 at bats in June. That's not going to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not going to go away. As long as he is walking at a good pace (has 3 BBs this month too, and he's always K'd alot, but produced a very good BB% rate too) to go along with the power, he'll be adequate. It's bad, but it isn't Jordan Danks bad. Edited June 9, 2010 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad, but it isn't Jordan Danks bad. Actually his K rate is worse than D2 by quite a bit. He's in Mark Reynolds territory...which tells you what he needs to have happen with his power numbers to be a productive player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still is walking more than Danks though. It goes to show how bad Flowers has been, and is still putting up a .775 OPS on the season.

His K rate in April wasn't much better, 21 k's in 62 AB's. That's still "Worse than Adam Dunn" territory. If he's hitting 40+ home runs a year, fine...but until he hits his 35th HR some season, I'm going to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Knowing Kenny, we'll get some Class A pitcher that has 0.3% chance of making it to the bigs. Don't get your hopes up for any half decent in a trade..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More on a power tear than Viciedo in less ABs (and almost the same in gap power with limited ABs). He'll be fine in the power department. His OBP is still 7 points higher than Dayan with his average being 64 points lower. Edited June 9, 2010 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
