Viciedo's average down to .243 and OPS is at .683. Hard to imagine he's back next year if he doesn't turn things around. He's a power hitter that doesn't hit a lot of homers and a guy with a great arm that can't catch the ball.

He just caught that ball rather nicely.

Webb is up

He just caught that ball rather nicely.

Sometimes what look like really nice catches are the result of poor positioning and range not quite being poor enough for the ball to fall

Minn 4-2 thru 6..............score more than 2 runs a game.

I think with Dunn and Paulie both gone next year, you're looking at Viciedo as out DH unless someone else is signed.

Agreed, but that ball was a line drive that got out there in a hurry and was sinking, and he got there and went down and got it. As for positioning on the play, neither of us would have a way of knowing whether he was positioned properly or not on that play.

He did not swing

De Aza is getting absolutely screwed on check swing calls this year

Another hitless game for Flowers.

I have seen enough of Flowers for 2014.

I have seen enough of Flowers in a White Sox jersey

How about a Juan Francisco/Viciedo platoon?

What's the betting we get a pop-up on the first pitch after that at-bat

We desperately need to find a legitimate starting catcher between now and next March.

 

Grandal seems like the perfect target, as he solves two offensive needs (left-handed bat, high OBP). He won't come cheap, but his poor season may make him a little more affordable. Regardless, Flowers needs to go.

One million dollars?

Why can't we beat the Royals/Twins

Something to keep in mind with Grandal is that KW and company really liked him and many thought the Sox would draft him.

Looks like Sox are done scoring tonight.

what do you think itll take to get him?

Alexei hasn't driven in a run since the end of May.

Abreu's fielded well tonight

Looks like Sox are done scoring tonight.

That may have been true last year, but there is still one more Abreu at bat lurking in this game.

I knew it right after they scored 3 runs in the 2nd

We can't go much longer with one lefty in the pen. Idk why we let Veal go

That may have been true last year, but there is still one more Abreu at bat lurking in this game.

Right now he is the only hope at this point tonight.
