The Ginger Kid Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Flowers has had his share of opportunities with RISP. I hope he turns it around by June. If not, I don't think his defense outweighs his offensive weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Viciedo no BB's first 48 AB's. Then, 8 walks now in his last 35 (all in May, since returning from the DL). Only 5 K's. 856 OPS on the season. .229 walk per/AB would lead Votto, Choo (man, we could have used him now and in the future), Fielder and Upton if extrapolated over a full season.

Hector has been the better starter starter this season. If they remove a guy with a sub 3 ERA, well the Sox are just stupid. This should not be a debate.

Short-term, maybe it's Axelrod. Still, Santiago's ERA for the season is well under 3.00 (obviously, part of that is from his excellent bullpen work, but it also includes the time he came in for Floyd and got hammered by CLE, just like Sale did). Axelrod isn't the type of pitcher who's often going to go out there and throw a shutout or 1-2 run game. But he keeps the team in games and doesn't give in....Mr. Bulldog. Keeps proving the doubters wrong, for now. And Danks hasn't exactly earned a spot based on his rehab results. One thing's for sure, they better not make him the replacement for Thornton/Veal next season. That would be a criminal misuse of him. Right now, after Sale, he's still arguably the 2nd most valuable trade value on the team...along with the "new and improved" Viciedo and finally Quintana.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm just impressed how much Axelrod has answered the bell. For an organization blasted for its lack of depth, he's really come up big both this year and last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Axelrod absolutely should be pulled for Danks. Santiago has looked much better. Ask yourself this. Who do you hold your breath more for when he gets on that mound, Santiago or Axelrod? The answer should be obvious. Axelrod scares the crap out of me.
