February 19, 201610 yr Cliff Corcoran of SI just called what the Sox did with their catching situation "the worst move if he offseason" on MLBN. True story. Went on to talk about Flowers being a league average catcher with elite pitch framing, Avila shouldn't be catching anymore and Navarro is terrible defensively. ODowd responds...you're really digging deep with that one . Edited February 19, 201610 yr by ChiSox59

February 19, 201610 yr https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/700716379721195520 Latos video. Number 38. Probably good he's next to the lost and found locker.
February 19, 201610 yr Colleen Kane @ChiTribKane 14m14 minutes ago Mat Latos said catcher Dioner Navarro was one of the draws to signing with the White Sox. Good relationship from time with the Reds. Take it for what it's worth, but even as a believer in framing I feel like this disqualifies the Sox catcher shuffle from being the worst move of the offseason.
February 19, 201610 yr Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 14m14 minutes ago Dioner Navarro was asked about catching Chris Sale after Mark Buehrle: "He’s got way better stuff than Mark -- yeah, I said it." #WhiteSox

Take it for what it's worth, but even as a believer in framing I feel like this disqualifies the Sox catcher shuffle from being the worst move of the offseason. Only pitched to him for 7 starts(47 innings) but he sure was really bleepin good in those starts. Held opponents to a .549 OPS.
February 20, 201610 yr https://twitter.com/CSNHayes Alex Avila on leadership: "There’s a lot of d***heads that play really well that you wouldn’t consider leaders. ... If I’m doing my job right as far as being a leader, you won’t hear about it, basically is my point."
February 21, 201610 yr When done, Gallardo/O's deal gives #WhiteSox the 27th pick in draft. Also adds about $30K to their signing bonus pool based on '15 figures. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/701196610664079361

February 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) Don't see the correlation between crossfit and making contact with a baseball but hope it helps. Lets just hope it increases his bat speed.
