yea, my nephew is the bat boy, says hes probably the hardest working player on the team, does tons of hitting in the cage and great guy. hes awful though lol

If he's that great a guy might as well keep him. I really don't think this team is going anywhere so might as well let a stellar guy make some money.

I posted this in the other Flowers thread, too.

 

Maybe the Sox could try to acquire Giants prospect Andrew Susac. He is stuck behind Posey and pretty much ML-ready right now. The Giants do not have a real MLB second baseman. Their starter most of the year is batting (Hicks) is batting .177 though with 8 HRs but also has an insane 32% K-rate. So a swap of Beckham for Susac would benefit both teams. Plus, the Giants do not have a top prospect at second base.

 

Susac is athletic, which helps him behind the plate as a receiver, and he has an above-average arm. He has at least average defensive tools and has improved his game calling as a professional.

 

Offensively, Susac's best tool is his plus power, which allows him to drive the ball to all fields. He has good pitch recognition skills and has consistently posted good on-base percentages. Susac looks like a future Major League starter behind the plate.

 

MLB.com's prospect report on him. Granted, it's the Pacific Coast League, but he is batting .288, .388 OPB and an .892 OPS.

There have been rumors Posey isn't going to be catching much longer.

Tyler Flowers has a BA of .250 with a BABIP of 410. That is insane. If he wasn't having an historically lucky season with balls finding holes, he'd be batting around 180.

 

2014 is quite a bit about finding what the Sox have and what they don't. In case there was ever any question, the Sox do not currently have a starting caliber MLB catcher. That's a bummer, but at least for now it's certain.
