SOXOBAMA Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 He has a oblique problem. We might need to make a trade for a starting C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ouch. This can be pretty lingering issues. So I guess this is why he wasn't playing. I wonder when it happened. He looked alright whacking that double yesterday. Maybe he's got a bruise from when he was HBP yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Williams shouldve been looking for a backup catcher anyway. Flowers is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I might be overconfident, but if it is for a few games, I'm fine with Flowers. I still think he can be a league average starting catcher. Defensively he's made great strides and offensively he doesn't exactly have the type of low maintenance swing bench players need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think this is being blown out of proportion. AJ said he can catch fine, he just can't swing right now. I bet he is back before this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hopefully he's back at 100% in a few days, because if this is a prolonged or lingering injury, "This season is ovah!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ said he can catch fine, he just can't swing right now. I bet he is back before this weekend. He wasn't gonna play tomorrow probably with a 100-degree day game, and Thursday is an off day. Right now it lookes one missed game for him and 3 days to rest. I wouldn't start worrying until the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Poor AJ. I wouldn't expect Flowers to do much the first 3-4 games in the lineup. He has to be full of rust. He plays so little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 If he can't swing, DL him. At least Flowers is better behind the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
