caulfield12 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Twins have just gotten pulverized by Verlander the last two innings when they had a chance to do some damage. Big game pitcher, defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) You want Flowers starting? I won't say I WANT it, but I feel much more comfortable with it than if we had Ramon Castro as our backup this season and thus no clear replacement.

flavum Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I wouldn't mind Flowers getting an opportunity to play himself into a regular catcher, but they better sign a good Plan B as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I thought AJ was gone for sure 2 years ago before he got resigned. I kinda feel the same way now but hopefully management can get him resigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I don't think any teams would trade for Rios even if we give him away. I think that contract keeps him with the Sox like Soriano with the Cubs. Alex coulda hit .350 and nobody would have bitten this offseason I think.

Soriano's contract is significantly worse. There are some big market teams that will be in the hunt for a CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rios has something like 2 years and $25 million left. That's pretty affordable for a guy who just had an all-star type season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's significantly better at drawing a walk than Alexei. Not sure if that is because his eye is so much better or if pitchers are just less afraid to attack Alexei. I also think that Alexei puts balls in play at a higher rate than Dayan, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
