fathom Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 5 strike outs already against someone who had an abysmal K/9IP ratio last year. Time for Fukudome to do something useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 This is a White Sox line-up only their mothers and close relatives could love. Stults surprisingly matching with zeroes so far, maybe the only way to win this game is a 1-0 shutout with our "lockdown bullpen" coming in.

fathom Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Stunning that a team with a #5 hitter with an OPS of .476 coming into the day is struggling to score. Indians shouldn't even bother pitching to Dunn tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2012 -> 06:40 PM) Flowers is 0-8 with 5K vs RHP this year. When AJP is brought back this offseason, Flowers has no one to blame but himself, as he never made any adjustments to what MLB pitchers are doing against him. Just like with Morel, there has to be serious doubts as to whether or not he's capable of starting in the majors. He's not. This has been another edition of easy answers to simple questions.

I think we can all agree it would be great if Phegley can surpass Flowers on the organizational depth chart. Kinda crazy how terrible Flowers/Lillibridge/Gilmore have been this year.

caulfield12 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 There has to be serious consideration now being given to jumping Phegley over Flowers for 2013, or even 2012 after a possible AJ salary dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda crazy how terrible Flowers/Lillibridge/Gilmore have been this year. If Phegley hits .300+ this year in Charlotte he'll probably get at least 200 AB next year. And Flowers will be all but done.

caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Flowers seems to be the case of "big big swing, needs to play nearly every game, will strike out 150-175 times, will give you 18-20 homers" guys. Sort of the catching equivalent of Brian Anderson. Except at some point when he's hitting .170 or .180, they'll pull the plug on that experiment, too. Whether it's worth a .200 average and half of Dunn's production for less walks to get Flowers' defense in the game over Phegley, guess we'll find out.

I've been thinking that since spring training. Hopefully the Sox start thinking this way. There also should be serious consideration to letting Fukodome go. Talk about washed up!

For some reason that's the exact idea I've had of him, I think most of the posters were pretty down on him last few years, but his minor league splits don't look half bad. thanks to poster above for pointing it out.

caulfield12 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hopefully Stults has enough juice left to get the game through the 6th or a batter or two into the 7th. Pretty amazing what both Quintana and Eric have done today. Now, about our offense....or lack thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 7, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) What is his talent? Seriously? He doesn't steal bases. He doesn't hit home runs. He isn't a balls-out hustler to whack a ton of doubles or trips. He is Mr. Casual in the outfield to the point we've almost had several collisions between he and cf and he and Beckham. Check the highlights. He doesn't call guys off the ball. He'd rather almost run into them. Where is this Rios talent? What am I missing from his career numbers? He's grossly overpaid ballplayer who at times is decent. (to his credit, he helped win a game or two in April with a clutch hit or two). My god, yes he was terrible last year, but go back just 2 years ago and you'll see he hit was a 20/30 guy who nearly scored and drove in 90 each..that coming off a down year.....oh and man greg this stultz guy is givin us no chance of winning this game, good call on that auto sweep.
