It's a mistake to assume the Tigers won't be adding to their roster as well.
I'm hoping that Peavy's contract was a sign that AJ is gone. They aren't exactly friendly.

The Tigers will already be adding Victor Martinez back to the middle of the lineup. Fielder, Cabrera, and Martinez (L,R,L...3,4,5). Yeeesh! I've already heard rumblings that they want to resign Anibal Sanchez as well. We already know their owner wants to win a championship before he dies. So expect some more big splashes in the FA market from Detroit this winter.

Tyler Flowers is not the answer at catcher. Imagine Flowers and Dunn in the lineup together for 120 or so games. I shudder to think of it.

While those are nice totals, I think the White Sox have too many low average, low OBP guys in their lineup already. I know that Dunn walked over 100 times last year but his OBP was STILL .333 and his OPS was "just" .800, that doesn't make up for his .205 average. He leaves way too many runners on base in scoring position. Maybe with a healthy Konerko hitting behind him his production will increase. I know that some people say that batting average doesn't matter but I think if you watch Dunn every game you get to see how many guys he leaves on base and how much that average DOES matter.

@5187 I agree that we need some guys that make more contact. However, If we get those numbers out of a DH and C, I'm not going to complain. We need to get more contact out of 3rd and 2nd. |

Did you watch Flowers behind the plate this year? He's improved by leaps and bounds. He's athletic for his size and mobile. He has a good arm and isn't afraid to call for pitches in the dirt. There is no comparison between him and AJ.

So Dunn's going to hit 50+ homers and have 120+ RBI's and walks next year? Sign me up for that!

Don't forget the 400 strikeouts.

Flowers has a better arm but I think that both he and AJ still struggle with pitches in the dirt. AJ struggles are largely a result of him being 36 and approaching the end of his career, Flowers has just always been bad.

That's a production assumption I'm not willing to make. Even if it comes true both will be flirting with the Mendoza line and striking out at record rates. No thank you.

Eric Chavez had himself a nice comeback season.
Would he be someone to kick the tires on? Perhaps 100- 110 games at 3B? |
