TomPickle Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:58 PM) I actually wouldn't be too shocked if Donny Lucy got the call. Lucy replaced Flowers during the Knights' game today, so I would be incredibly shocked if that happened. Welp, I suck.

southsider2k5 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) Flowers just a hit a homer. He's 2-2. .261, 15 homers, 32 RBIs He must have gotten the text. Honestly I am surprised that no one called Charlotte and told them to get him out to be safe.

TaylorStSox Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Flowers vs AJ... Do you trade .50 in average for more HRs and possibly a higher obp? Both are awful defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'm expecting it to be a .080 to .100 BA dropoff from AJ. Hope to be pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am expecting spot starts here and there, just like Castro. With the dog days of summer coming up, you cant expect AJ to go out there every day for weeks on end.

southsider2k5 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-07...-rehabilitation KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tyler Flowers could spend the rest of the 2011 season with the Chicago White Sox because of a lengthy rehabilitation prescribed for popular backup catcher Ramon Castro. Castro underwent a follow-up examination on his broken right hand and index finger at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush University Medical Center. An eight-to-12-week rehabilitation was recommended for Castro, who suffered the break on June 9. Castro underwent surgery last Thursday at Rush and stayed in Chicago while the Sox embarked on this three-city, nine-game trip. Flowers started his first game for the Sox on Tuesday and went 0-for-3.
