ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Getting rid of Turner so quickly surprises me though. He never had a chance to work with Coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 06:04 PM) Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 55s55 seconds ago One name to keep an eye on as White Sox seek a catcher: Dioner Navarro. Sense among competitors is something could come together quickly. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan I would actually love a battery of Avila/Navarro behind the plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) I would actually love a battery of Avila/Navarro behind the plate The state of catching these days is pretty damn thin, so I guess this could do for a year.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I see Navarro or Rosario as the most likely replacement for Flowers. Either one would be an upgrade. I'm so happy right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysocks Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 QUOTE (shysocks @ Nov 26, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) I think any negativity about this [signing Avila] is the result of the realization that Flowers will still have a primary role next year. Really though, everyone should have realized that months ago. Herp derp. Color me shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 05:57 PM) People on here look waaaaaay to into the whole Flowers is his personal catcher thing. Sale will be fine. Honestly, they'll probably bring in a right handed hitting, defensive first catcher for cheap to be his backup. Cheaper than what Flowers would make it should say. This. Sale is elite and is quite possibly the best pitcher in the American League. He will succeed and thrive no matter who is catching him.

Feeky Magee Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Of course, all these years I wanted them to DFA Flowers and then I find out about pitch framing, decide I actually quite like him, and they DFA him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Navarro had a 894 OPS against LH starters last year and batted 266 with a 715 OPS away from Toronto last season. Encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's terrible. I'd rather have Navarro. If I recall he hits lefties good over his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a marginal upgrade and he is - no exaggeration - trash as a catcher. He's barely a catcher at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Guessing Turner is hurt. We have an extremely bare 40 man with both open spots and lack of talent on the end. Doesn't make sense for him to go first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Say we sign Navarro? How long and how much? My guess is 2 years/6-8 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Navarro is a switch hitter, right? A guy that hasn't been named that I'd like is Peter O'Brien of the Diamondbacks. He's still super young and was a top prospect at one point. I don't know if he's available though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
