In "go figure" news, Gavin Floyd is throwing harder now than any season since 2010.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) So what should they do in order to indicate that they're facing it? Release him and pay the remaining >$30 million on his contract? Trade him and pay $20 million for the priveledge to move him for nothing? Send him to the bullpen and put Carroll or someone like that who clearly is earning the job in the rotation? If someone was willing to take Danks and Sox paid 1/2 of his remaining salary, I'd be all for it.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 18, 2014 -> 06:38 PM) Danks is not a good pitcher anymore, face it front office Nothing they can do about it now. Might as well keep pitching him every 5th game and hope he remembers how to throw 90 mph.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 18, 2014 -> 06:36 PM) Danks looks horrible That's cause he is...that contract is a killer right now, as the Sox are paying a fortune for a #5 starter at best.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 18, 2014 -> 06:35 PM) Danks threw BP to Carter. His fastball is BP-worthy now. I don't think I can recall two pitchers in Danks/Johnson seemingly losing velocity from one season to the next for no reason.

Hopefully they get Semien some ABs at 3rd while Conor plays 1B while Abreu's on the DL.

Danish gives up 2 in the 2nd

I still would love to hear why Danks' velocity is down 1.5 mph from last year

More damage against Paulino in the 2nd....I wonder how soon they'll DFA him?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 18, 2014 -> 04:20 PM) Well, Pauly is about to get more PT Good thing Eaton returned today, or else this would be the 2013 White Sox lineup.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 18, 2014 -> 03:14 PM) The ptatc bat signal has been turned on quick google search makes it seem like rest is the best treatment for this, with surgery an option only if no improvement after 6 months.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 18, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) Bad timing in the schedule to lose that bat--KC, NY, and Cleveland. Really need wins the next couple weeks. Hope this is 15 days and doesn't linger the rest of the year. Honestly, I don't care if they lose every game the next two weeks as long as Abreu's ankle substantially improves. Sox can't afford to have another big piece of the future out for a significant period of time.

If Rick Porcello has actually turned into an above average starter, the Tigers might win 100 games this season.

So many chances to win that game, just couldn't. Hopefully Abreu's injury isn't serious.

Not much bat speed left for PK. With that said, the Sox will need him for 2 weeks probably.

Webb is definitely not a multiple innings pitcher.

Conor didn't have much of a chance there. Too bad they had to use Konerko for Abreu.

Nice Beckham...come on Conor, hit a gapper

How close was ADA from a homer

0-9 with runners in scoring position today

QUOTE (Baron @ May 17, 2014 -> 11:17 PM) Nice bat speed Tyler They need to start getting Nieto more at bats besides when Danks is pitching.

Come on, shorten your swing Flowers! Unreal amount of fastballs he's missed of late.

Safe...great challenge by Ventura!

Funny thing is that idea is even worse when you consider that was probably going to be another fastball given Flowers' invisible bat.

What the heck is that?
