RockRaines Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Sorry its never a good thing to lose AJP, throwing well or not. There's a reason he's a type A among catchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 12:32 PM) I have a feeling this might be a blessing in disguise. We'll see. At least Tyler will get a legit look, which is more than I was expecting. Let's hope he's up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) When I met him @ Field of Dreams yesterday, I asked him how his wrist is, he said it's fine. What a d$mn liar! Anyway, wonder which catchers have passed through waivers. The Sox aren't going to add payroll. This is who we have, for better or for worse.

The Ginger Kid Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 f*** Miller, f*** Chen. AJ was really hitting well of late. Couldn't come at a worse time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The timing is this is awful, as we face some dynamite righty pitchers the next two weeks. I've been impressed by Flowers, but I'll be stunned if he's able to put up a batting average over .150 the next two weeks facing the likes of Jimenez, Carmona, Masterson, Ogando, Weaver, Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is who we have, for better or for worse. ya know it sucks to see AJ get injured but in a way this is a blessing in disguise we get to see what tyler flowers really can do, i still havent gotten on the ban wagon of we are going to win this division again just yet, but if the kid can play well it may give this team a spark, if not its still the same flat offense the whitesox have been running out there all season....

Can Flowers throw people out any better than AJ? AJ has been hitting very well. Maybe you are right. I wonder how much he'll play Lucy. Is Oz a big Flowers guy?

But Tyler likely won't be as good as AJ in terms of average, or in terms of handling the pitching staff. Lucy can do the latter, but not the former. The biggest loss here is the LH bat that was hitting near .300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Yes, a blessing in disguise, losing a guy who's hitting .410 in the month of August with a 1.07 OPS. Halleluiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobryansson Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 2 catchers out with broken hand/wrist from pitches thrown by Buehrle & Chen. What are the odds of those both happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) AJ is 19/97 CS takes into account pick-offs via the pitcher. You need to look at CSctch, where it only takes into account CSes which included an assist by the catcher. Therefore AJ is only 10/97. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/..._baserunning::9 Edited August 16, 2011 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 This will hurt the Sox unless Tyler Flowers can step up and deliver. I can't believe folks saying this is a blessing in disguise or it won't hurt to lose AJP. Apprently they don't follow the Sox. I doubt if there is anything to trade for out there. Olivo from Seattle? Not suggesting it at all and hopefully Flowers and Lucy can perform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Best case scenario is AJ's days as our starting catcher are numbered because T-Flow drops a 1.142 OPS from here on out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
