BlackSox13 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 07:52 PM) I do agree If we could combine them....................separately I do not see either guy being a long term answer. I'm laughing at us both right now because how you feel about Sanchez is how I feel about Johnson. With other positional holes that need to be filled, I think the Sox can be more patient with 2B. IMHO, 3B and RF are huge voids that must be addressed this off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 18, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) Third base is far and away the biggest I think Saladino easily puts up a higher war than flowers over a season worth of games. Not that either should really be starting, but I believe catcher is the hole. Too bad it'll be impossible to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I don't get Flowers pitch selection at all. Earlier in the game, Lindor struck out horribly on a low and inside slider. So what does Flowers call? A fastball right down the middle. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a major reason why he's faded down the stretch. He's been so overused throughout the season and he's probably tired. Like I said earlier...that's exactly what we should be doing with him right now. He's got 2 starts left. Work him the last 2 starts and hopefully that builds his arm up next year so that maybe next year or even 2017 we don't have to worry about a "dead arm" hitting him in July.
