how do you sign butler?

by Shakey on Jan 12, 2010 3:19 PM CST up reply actions

Get Moore drunk

and convince DM Butler was the third, and worst, catcher of his Oliviio, Buck, Butler troika. While DM is pliable, have him sign Kendall for laughs.

That or offer him something he already has. Like a speedy, defense first outfielder. Maybe he wants Pierre? Then give Butler a long term deal.

be the best signing of the offseason for white sox. Of course that could easily be construed as damning with faint praise. But it accomplishes:
1. Let Flowers work on offense and defense playing every day
2. Gain an extra year of team control of Flowers (ages 25-30 instead of 24-29)
2. Keep T-FLow away from AJ for at least a few months (which is probably no small issue after T-Flow’s stated desire to take AJ’s job this year)

Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of.

by bhoov on Jan 12, 2010 3:23 PM CST reply actions

As one who enjoys your posts

I must admit the strangest things get you awake and on the board. Backup catcher signings, BA arguments, Jerry Owens sightings, etc…. lol.

"Oh well back to work"

by Tdogg on Jan 12, 2010 3:27 PM CST up reply actions

Yeah

I’m around almost every day. So awake, just not too much to say that others aren’t saying. And you’re right backup catcher signings don’t typically get me excited enough to comment. But I saw the development of Flowers as one of the bigger issues for the future of the club. Protecting him (and saving millions in the process) is more important than anything else they’ve done this offseason.

i like that extra year of control. one of the main reasons to do it.

i don’t see a huge difference between castro and flowers over the, what, twelve games castro will play in by the time flowers is called up in june (or something). and flowers probably isn’t going to be much better (if at all) than an andruw jones or whoever will be DHing. and obviously flowers will be playing full time in AAA, which is a huge necessity for him.

by larry on Jan 12, 2010 3:40 PM CST up reply actions

Yes. What you said.

And now Castro can catch a 2010 perfect game (I’m predicting Flyod).

i drink it religiously as well

A. because you can drink a shit ton of it in the shortest amount of time possible. (pregame ritual)

B. i use 1 small can red bull per 5th of jager, just a dabble of RB gets the job done.

C. I have no imagination to make any other drinks.

I hadnt thought of Castro

since I thought he signed with Toronto:

At least we didnt pay more than they did.

Is there a better back up catcher on the market that you wanted to pick up?

Seems like a pretty sound move.. I don’t get the sarcasm. He fills a need.

by Grinder in Training on Jan 12, 2010 4:32 PM CST up reply actions

No its a solid signing.

Even as a Flowers fan I admit that. I joke but I like the bench very much this year.

What's wrong with this picture?

From MLB:

DESIGNATED HITTER
Two of the guys left in this category are possible Hall of Famers, as Jim Thome and Gary Sheffield are both free agents, and while neither would be a solid bet to start in anyone’s outfield any time soon, both can still bring a fearsome right-handed bat to a lineup if healthy.
