I'd give Flowers the rest of the year to improve. If he's still this horrible, shitcan him and/or draft and develop a couple of catchers in this year's draft.

Trade for Wellington Castillo. :troll:



But seriously, it may have just been the times I tuned in around the 'Hawks game, but Stone seemed to be all over Castillo's knob tonight.

Re-sign AJ.. Oh wait... I still don't see why he wasn't brought back. 7.5 million isn't that bad.

AJ wanted a chance at another World Series.

Texas gives him that opportunity.

Teach Flowers how to catch. Or bring up Phegly and then teach him how to catch.

Both are bad defensively. Flowers wasn't bad defensively until recently though.

giving him the rest of the year would be fine and dandy if this offense was not strugglins so bad. We can't affored to carry Flowers hitting like this,

Brent Morel is our answer. Or Josh Fields. Why not both? They have arms, two last I checked. :) (Sorry Jim, you're out)

Interesting stat that Flowers is like less than 20 OPS behind Dunn.

So Flowers is the difference between a crap lineup and an one which won't cause this team to lose 85 games? OK, believe that it's your right.

When the catcher position offered so much to the offense last year it does. Huge dip in production there from last year. That's the biggest problem. If Flowers was stellar defensively it might be worth it. I'd say that Phegly needs a shot because he's been tearing it up in AAA. Granted, that doesn't always transfer.
