max power Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 09:39 PM) Flowers looks like a guy who has never bunted in his life. Its nice that Hawk pointed that out, as Ozzie is setting up for failure again. I don't know how its taking the bat out of his hands though. All those craving more Tyler Flowers in 2012 better be careful what they wish for. It looks like the league may have caught up to him. I agree with you about his future, but you can't deny that he has some power. He is perhaps the perfect guy I wouldn't never have bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is perhaps the perfect guy I wouldn't never have bunt. There was zero reason to have him bunt. If Ozzie really needed a bunt there he could have pinch hit Vizquel. He has 2 other catchers available. Flowers needs all the strikes he can get. Taking away 2 is murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a situation where it would ever make sense for a guy like him to bunt. He has a great eye for walks, and power when he swings.

kitekrazy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I always thought Flowers wasn't going to be anything special at the plate. I guess he Ks a lot. He might as well learn to bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 QUOTE (MAX @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 02:47 AM) Fathom is the one whose opinion I respect the most. Well, I do appreciate it, and it is very nice to see Morel letting loose at the plate. If he can give the Sox 15 homers next year, that would be a huge plus. Rongey actually had a great segment tonight around 6:10pm when he mentioned the huge decline in home runs for the squad this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got word he'll be back? Regarding Morel, I've hated his approach all year, but it's nice to see him finally swing at the ball like a man. I've been waiting for him to turn and burn all year and it appears he is finally doing it (just in time as the season is over). It still doesn't exonerate him from being guilty of being a sally at the plate most of the year, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he Ks a lot. He might as well learn to bunt. He can hit it a mile and does draw walks. If he can make enough contact, something I wonder about, he could hit .220-.235 with a .325 OBP and hit 20+ homers with 150 ks. It really wouldn't be too bad. On the other side, if he can't make as much contact as that, its going to be hard to put him in the line up every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
