One interesting quote:

 

Over four seasons, Gavin Floyd has grown at a rapid pace. The Phillies ultimate plan, or so it’s been said, is to keep Floyd in a Phillies uniform for the next decade. For years, people have known he was special and that it would not take him long to reach the major league level. Paraphrasing a catchy line, “Now is his time.” And it is thrilling to look forward to.

thanks for posting that...interesting stuff....anyone who says floyd is not worth anything is mistaken....this guy was an absolute stud prospect not that long ago, and hes had a down year or two, but hasnt exactly been handled ideally by the phillies

this is probably where it started going downhill

 

"Highlights of his rookie year included an impressive 166 innings pitched, 3 complete games, a 2.77 ERA, and a no-hitter.

 

In that game, a walk and an error led to an unearned run, and a 1-0 loss for Floyd. "

 

ouch

It can only go down from there....right?

Floyd never threw a No Hitter

 

EDIT: Wait, he did, but it was with AA Reading. He walked the leadoff man, he stole second, sac fly to center, and a throwing error by the 3rd baseman.

I remember when Gavin Floyd first made the jump to the Majors, I picked him up for my fantasy baseball squad because Sporting News said he would be "this season's Mark Prior."

 

Floyd was untouchable two years ago. Two season's of ERA's over 6 have changed that story... but obviously the talent has to be there somewhere.
