Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) Guys get pissed at LaRoche. He's suppose to be the clean up f***ing hitter FFS! He just Ks on 3-4 pitches now and doesn't f***ing walk. Avi is what he is... still developing but won't amount to much without him hitting for power. Avi is 24 and still developing. He's going to have ups and downs. Avi is a 1B/DH IMO. It's what his body type is. LaRoche is a bum. He's finished. Get him out. Melky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) With the way Saladino, Ramirez and Sanchez are now playing, if the Sox could just improve in RF and DH they'd ave a pretty decent team. Oh yeah and a Catcher who could catch would help too. Avi is ok. DH and Catcher is the main thing. Bring up Micah to DH and work with Sanchez on defense every day, and have Soto start every game except when Sale starts. Done and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 12:02 PM) Oh we've accepted it. We just dont know why he keeps getting resigned and starting. They obviously value his catching ability. Hawk, who is basically our fly on the wall, has mentioned several times how Flowers has excelled at handling our starters, which is his "primary responsibility." We just need to accept that and deal with his offensive inadequacies. It isn't something that is going to change until a much better option becomes apparent.

he gone. Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Serious question. Knowing what you know now and with how LaRoche is playing -- would you rather have had Dunn on a one year deal, or this LaRoche on a two year deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine but statistically he's one of the worst catchers in baseball in terms of WAR. We have a catcher behind him who is actually middle of the pack. I think that would qualify as much better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
