January 25, 200719 yr Slow times, but what do people think. Several people mention Haeger, which I love as I remember Wilbur Wood, but I wonder how much the light air will hinder the Knuckler in spring training. Last year springtraining whip was 2.6. He did good late season with Sox but his minor league second half ERA over 5. I think we may go four man rotation primarily early due to days off so ability to pitch some from pen will help. Who wins ?
January 25, 200719 yr I'm pulling for Haeger, but it seems like the organization favors Floyd. Who knows? (I don't like Haeger's chances of blowing everyone away in the desert, either, which I think is a shame. Stupid environment.)
January 25, 200719 yr I like Haeger, but the walks make me real nervous. I'm gonna go with Floyd as long as he has a solid spring training.
January 25, 200719 yr I think Haeger ends up getting a spot. Watch out for Broadway or Danks as darkhorses.
January 26, 200719 yr I'm a big fan of Haeger, but I believe Floyd will win the final rotation spot and do a damn good job.
January 26, 200719 yr I'm all for Haeger getting it, let Floyd work out his problems in AAA for awhile and bring him up when he is ready.
January 26, 200719 yr I do not want Haeger anywhere near this rotation. Gavin Floyd will surprise you all.

January 26, 200719 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 05:00 PM) I do not want Haeger anywhere near this rotation. Gavin Floyd will surprise you all. I have a feeling that both of them will be surprisingly good. All things considered I'm probably rooting for Charlie this year, but I think both of them have it in them to turn out darn good.
January 26, 200719 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 25, 2007 -> 07:00 PM) I do not want Haeger anywhere near this rotation. Gavin Floyd will surprise you all. I agree completely
January 26, 200719 yr Floyd will win it unless he has a disasterous spring. He's the one that should be in it, he has the most experience and biggest upside, at least in my book.
January 26, 200719 yr I like Haeger. I'm hoping he wins it, but at least he better earn it. No tallest midget s*** again.
January 26, 200719 yr I don't care who gets its as long as he wins more than he loses. And that goes for the rest of the rotation and bullpen.
January 26, 200719 yr Floyd or Sisco (I just want to make a crazy prediction so I threw Sisco in there).
January 26, 200719 yr Go Haeger!! But I'm guessing the Sox have written him off, 2/3 years ago. So please, someone, step up. If I had to guess, I'd guess a decent, not great, st from Floyd wins him the job. Sadly.
January 26, 200719 yr I will add my conspiracy therory to the mix that it is Haegar's job, always has been and that was why they traded McCarthy. There will be competition but I believe they will favor toward Haegar unless completly blown away.
