PrintOpen this page in a separate window or tab, and Do Not Refresh (as SSS is set to go dark in the next half hour). The Cover It Live box should remain active and allow discussion in the downtime. Comments are closed, to be opened when we return from darkness.
[Note by The Cheat, 12/02/08 10:59 PM CST]: It appears as though I may have overreacted to my email, as the outage was only supposed to last for minutes during the timeframe listed. Oops. Comment reopened. I'll have a trade recap up before I hit the sack.

The 6-foot-4-inch, 245-pound Flowers probably is two years from reaching the majors, but scouts rave about his upside.
“I was just talking to my parents,” Flowers told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "They’re a little upset about it, but it’s probably good for me, considering there’s a designated hitter [in the AL].
“That’s another position I can possibly play. That’s definitely a plus. And I know some guys in their organization.”
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Damn even he thinks he wont stick at C.
I don't need to look at fancy stats
to see if a guy is good or not. You might have to.

His fatalist attitude makes him an excellent addition to our tallest midget show

Yeah...that's a terrible quote to see...
Plus, the stuff posted in the BTF thread about him having a bad body, bad knee, and juicing in JuCo…not good. I think the Sox made a poor trade if they were hoping to acquire a major-league C prospect.

This offseason is weird
Sure I wanted to get rid of Javy… but I don’t know about these prospects
Same goes for the Swisher trade, but IMO the Swisher trade makes way less sense then this one
Well, Flowers can be considered a B prospect I suppose
The Swish trade netted the Sox a bad utility infileder. If Flowers were really a C, I think Vazquez trade would have been fine. But given that he’s pretty clearly a DH in his own mind, I think they were both pretty poor trades.

I wouldn't be totally certain that Flowers doesn't stick at C.

Define "stick".
One season? 2? 1/2?
Certainly not an AJ-like career re: longevity.
For some reason I feel like having a Cuban sandwich.
All I know is
The “trust in Kenny” shit is really being pushed to the limit… I hope to god he makes us all look like fools
hmm
talking chop is waaaaaay too excited about getting boone logan.
agreed
just saw that

no point in arguing with people who are blinded from reality..."

I think I'm most interested to see what's going to happen with
the Swish/Javy/Dye fund. Could they just pocket it?
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
I think arb awards and pulling back in the face of lower revenue in 2009
I don’t think that’s actually “pocketing” it.

it isn't, it just feels like it

I don't care where this kid plays because
he has a great eye and major POP in that bat
Thank you,
these bumblefucks think the Sox are going to trade Dye. I said I would cancel my membership on here in martyrdom of Dye being traded.
