December 3, 201312 yr Author Dan Hayes: "Rick Hahn at GM meetings said #WhiteSox are hesitant to write off Tyler Flowers and Josh Phegley. Believe both can reach their upside."
December 3, 201312 yr Makes sense. With all the garbage catchers out there, giving Flowers another shot, at least as part of a RH platoon, isn't the worst thing.

December 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 01:57 AM) No thats a pretty terrible situation I'd be fine with Flowers being in a platoon with someone like Jaso. If you're trying to compete though, you can't expect Flowers to be your primary catcher in a division with such dynamic RHP.
December 3, 201312 yr Has anything changed? He could still be traded. The Sox could still sign or trade for another catcher as a #1 or platoon.

I remember a lot of us being pissed the Sox tendered a contract to Ben Davis at the deadline, as we thought it meant they wouldn't go after AJP.

December 3, 201312 yr In other news...Colleen Kane @ChiTribKane 1m White Sox won't tender a contract to pitcher Dylan Axelrod.
December 3, 201312 yr Hopefully we will never have to see him play again. Truly a terrible player. His injury was a convenient excuse that hurt us.

I agree... Just a terrible catcher and hitter. He would be a great 16 inch softball player though. Swing away Merrill.. Swing away.

December 3, 201312 yr Author Dan Hayes provides hope: No guarantee #WhiteSox start season w/ Flowers/Phegley at C. It's Dec. 2. But club won't write them off, either. http://bit.ly/1g0WRKd
