greg775 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 At what point does it become time to move on from a 33-year old catcher who is showing signs of decline, can't hold or throw out a baserunner, has an expiring contract, and has a terribe approach at the plate? How about when your team is terrible, has a promising catcher waiting in the wings, and when it looks like you can actually get something for him. Eventually, we're all going to have to move on from the 2005 Good Feelings tour. Now, is as good a time as ever. If AJ gets traded, I fully expect Castro merely to become the starter, don't you?

No, I would assume it would be Flowers with Castro keeping his current role.. If you are making the move to trade AJ, you need to see what you have in Flowers..

hogan873 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 What's the word on Salty besides the fact that he can't throw the ball back to the pitcher? How's his hitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's his hitting? His minor league numbers have progressively worsened since he put up a 1.022 OPS in 2007 in AA for the Braves. Currently he's sporting a .774 OPS for the Rangers AAA team. He's a revival project at the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't trade a veteran in a down year, to start another verteran in a down year, Flowers will start and Castro will either follow A.J. out or continue catching once a week.

Castro has, throughout his career, been a pretty good option as a RH platoon/backup catcher. You really don't ask for more than a .750 ish OPS from those guys, and he's reliably given teams that. What teams are out there that are missing a solid backup C or missing a RH C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 AJ is not going anywhere... at least not right now. I don't think he'll have a problem approving a trade to a contender after his 10/5 rights kick in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's his hitting? I say if they trade A.J. to Texas, KW asks for Salty first, if he's turned down, then ask for Chris Davis. If all he gets back is some pitiful RHP from low A, then what a waste. The White Sox need to get position players, especially left handed power hitters, in any trade from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero problem with targeting RHP from low-A ball if there's a scout who really likes that person and says that in a year or two he could be a star.

So, if KW was, hypothetically, able to move Peavy's contract by the end of 2011 and was able to bring up Hudson and another RHP starter, and thus had freed up say $20 million in salary, and he decided to blow it all at once on Prince Fielder, you'd be mad because Fielder is past his prime?

soxfan-kwman Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Kenny is a gambler, if we win today & sweep the Cubs he'll stick with AJ until absolute latest. Besides, we play Pitsburgt & Washington after the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
