Baron Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I really cant wait for Kenny to pull the plug on Flowers. His approach is swing at everything the pitcher throws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yeah I don't know what people expect out of a backup catcher that plays as rare as Flowers does.... he plays good defense and has thrown out baserunners anything more is gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying, yeah, Flowers sucks right now, but I don't see anyone to replace him with that would be any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard enough to find an everyday catcher who can hit, backup catchers that can hit are extremely rare. I'm happy with Flowers catching ability.

Balta1701 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) So that means dont try it? There is seriously no reason to expect that Phegley would step in as a part time player and somehow be more effective than Flowers in that role. Phegley's been on the DL for so much of his minor league career that he's averaged under 300 PA's a year. Â If you're looking for a backup C upgrade who can take that 1 day a week job and have more success it's going to be through the trade market.
