Flowers blew chunks. this is huge upgrade. fatarse, lazy mfer

Flowers was league avg for a catcher with the bat... and best defensive catcher in the league when accounting for pitch framing...

Not going to miss him all that much, but its a perplexing move imo....

A couple names I've seen the Sox associated with: Justin Upton (apparently he's their prime OF target), Brett Lawrie, and Asdrubal Cabrera.

I really do not want Upton. Cabrera better on O than Ramirez, not as good with glove. Iffy there.

Why not upton

msf · « **Reply #1756 on:** December 08, 2015, 06:51:03 am »

Attitude, and the fact I do not think he is worth the money he wants. But I do like him better than Avisail, cannot get rid of that bum soon enough.

msf · « **Reply #1757 on:** December 08, 2015, 06:51:50 am »

Oh, Upton is not a good OF either. Lazy and takes lots of poor angles. We can do better. We get too caught up on homers.

Method · « **Reply #1758 on:** December 08, 2015, 10:20:13 am »

Shoe... look at Upton's BA for the last 5 years... goes down every year.

I agree with MSF, he will be like his brother an albatross contract. If they really want to spend more of JR's money get Gordon

#WhiteSox exploring Japanese 3B Nobuhiro Matsuda. He hit a career-high 35 homers last year for #Softbank. Well timed move to US.

Apparently close to acquiring Brett Lawrie.

Because trades with Oakland have worked out so well for us.

I really don't like this potential acquisition. Another bust whose BA, OBP, and BB% have basically been on a downward trajectory since 2012 (BA last year being the only exception - went from .247 to .260).

He'd probably go by "Nobu," if that makes it more shoutable.

Not too excited about it but I guess he has had injuries and had been an excellent defensive player. I can live with good D, low OBP but not bad and bad

He's an excellent defensive player? Everything I've seen / read says he's about average.

Granted, that's still an improvement over Gillaspie, but I'd like to see more than just average defense + mediocre hitting out of a corner infield spot.

Shoeless · « **Reply #1766 on:** December 09, 2015, 09:23:23 am »

had been. he has declined so not sure what is up with that

Correct, he is not all that on D.

For 2 minor leaguers?

Nobu?

msf · « **Reply #1770 on:** December 09, 2015, 06:03:00 pm »

Maybe we can dump Courtney Hawkins on them. Hope they leave Engel (CF) and Michalczewski (3B) alone out of the everyday players. I almost bet my left nut they take both of them. They can have Montes and Danish from the pitchers, but hope not Adams.

Shoeless · « **Reply #1771 on:** December 09, 2015, 06:43:41 pm »

Hang on to Montas. Give them Danish and Hawkins

White Sox, A’s “Hit Snag” In Brett Lawrie Trade Talks

By Steve Adams | December 9, 2015 at 5:23pm CST

5:23pm: The ChiSox and A’s have “hit a snag” in trade talks surrounding Lawrie, reports Joe Stiglich of CSN Bay Area. While a deal could eventually be worked out, the team wasn’t able to agree on the prospect package that would return to Oakland.

Juan pizzarro · « **Reply #1774 on:** December 09, 2015, 08:14:22 pm »

This doesn't bother me either. We got Lawrie for Zachary Erwin and J.B. Wendelken. I never knew we had those guys
