The only thing is I would love to give Gavin a full year throwing to flowers to see if there's any difference, I have a feeling a few of these pitchers weren't connecting with AJ lately. I recall gavin's better games were caught by flowers.

Would love markakis. Time to start shoring up the outfield D, get some strong arms out there.

I appreciate what AJ did for us and his time here, but it was time to move on. Wish the best to AJ

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 07:09 PM) Yeah, the only way to possibly defend this move is from a business perspective. We just got a massive downgrade in a huge position of need. Do we have any capable catchers in the minors? Downgrade??? Catchers are about defense AJ's sucked lately

Ok then let's sign Contreras for the bullpen, Scotty pods as a 4th outfielder and maybe we sould look on what softball field Chris Widger is playing on so he can backup flowers......

QUOTE (YASNY @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 02:07 AM) I know we need the LH bat, but all good things must come to and end and I believe AJ's time in Chicago is done. That said, I love what AJ did while he was here and he is the most likeable obnoxious jerk I've ever been exposed to. Thanks for the memories AJ! This

Defense for a catcher isn't only holding runners on or throwing them out, it's part but not all.

I really don't care if flowers hits like Ron karkovice if he calls a good game and plays good D

QUOTE (Sox1 @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 07:42 AM) Buster Olney tweets that AJ might be back with the Sox. Please no.....

Family thing for me too, on my mothers side my grandfather was a mechanic in desplains and he would get home and eat "supper" as he called it and watch the game, my mom has some old memobrilia of the early 70's teams. Like an autogrphed picture of bill melton, I got a ball down home she gave me autographed by the 1970 team I believe, I know Gail Hopkins and rich McKinney are on it, I think Ken berry and rich morales. My dad was never big on sports, but a few of his brothers that live in Elgin are cub fans... I remember I was about 5 still lived in elgin and didn't have the slightest idea of my hispanic heritage I had a pajama set let the late 70's early 80's uniform and I remember watching but not really understanding really but I knew it was the sox. I Tought Marc hill has all that LOL!! I don't know why tho...

Was watching the 1977 one, no mention of the south side hitmen

What are they doing in Latin America???

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Nov 16, 2012 -> 10:52 AM) Flowers" quote is interesting. Maybe it's just me, and I'm not sure if there are stats to back this up, but Tyler seems a lot more creative in his pitch calling. He seems to call a lot more breaking balls in hitter's counts and 3/2 counts. He also seems to call for more balls in the dirt. Are there stats to back this up? I said the same thing in game threads in the past, Gavin pitched better with flowers and farmio mentioned it a lot, but I got called crazy here and all people were throwing at me was AJ's offensive season. How many times did AJ call bad sliders from Gavin when the curve was working? That's just a small sample, but all people threw at me were the damn sabermetrics bulls***.

Nope just his offspring....

Wish black jack would be interested in coaching

No to singing to AJ j/k I only wish we could get Felix, Viciedo and Molina ain't gonna cut it...

Ohhh please no

Sorry to say, upton will not be at 3rd anytime soon

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Oct 9, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) He showed up Crain in Baltimore too. BTW, most of the team can't stand AJ. It seems he's like jeckyl and Hyde, between the lines he's a jerk but in interviews I've seen he seems to be a good guy. But still he needs to go :-)

Say no Sanchez, I've had enough head cases on these team.. Floyd being the biggest

More evidence to what I've said....

Answering your previous post from this am dude. It's all good man I know what I refer too, but it's cool, no hard feelings at all, let's just bury the hatchet on the topic

How does Gerald laird do? He's been a good catcher as a backup. Is he a free agent? I think catcher is important, and the post above says what I've been saying, time for AJ to move on. I appreciate and love the 8 yrs he gave this team, but his defense has been leaving much to be desired and I'm not the only one saying this, plus the game calling was mediocre at times(that could be the benches fault too tho) Farmer was always making note of this
