Springfield Soxfan Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Why not Lucy? Agreed, kind of shocked on Lucy and thought maybe two more pitchers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) Is Infante on the 40 man or does someone else need to be designated? He is not but Threets is currently on the 15 day DL and can be moved to the 60 to make room just as Peavy was moved to the 60 to make room for Manny. (as we are at 40 right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) cst_sox - Sox will call up Infante, DeAza and Flowers tomorrow now, according to Sox PR. Viciedo in Boston and Torres in Detroit. That's P Gregory Infante, does anyone have any info on him? Wow, that is a straight up shock right there.

Milkman delivers Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 You would think Lucy earned a call-up with his performance earlier in the year for the Sox. And hasn't Flowers been terrible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 12:22 PM) I'd be in favor in bringing up as many bullpen arms as possible. Do we still have Aquino? How did he do this year? Santeliz is another pitcher I wouldn't mind bringing up just to eat innings. Oh, and Nunez, too. Aquino is suspended.

And hasn't Flowers been terrible? He had 5 hits. He happened to have a little hot streak while he was up here, he didn't earn anything, he's still bad.

Even for as much as Flowers struggled in AAA this year he still out OPS'd Lucy by about 150 points. Yeah, Lucy may turn out to be the backup C next year, but no one is under the illusion that he is a future starter. Flowers, despite some struggles this year, is still seen as the catcher of the future for the Sox. They want to get a good look at him now - Lucy is a known commodity.

We have plenty of room for a guy like that for the last month, I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
