Flash Tizzle Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 10, 2007 -> 01:19 PM) Considering Floyd did nothing to prove last year he's anywhere close to being ready to start in the American League, I hope KW/Ozzie aren't that stubborn. It's their responsibility to rationalize the selection of Floyd over other starters if the results don't match. Such as, if Floyd's ERA is hovering around 8; Haeger around 4; Danks below 3, Williams can't exactly spin anything other than having the decision made before spring training began. Unless Floyd's peripherals are amazing and aren't indicative of his inflated ERA, a reasonable picture of who's good and who's not should be provided by late March. I'm sure his ass-lickers will mention how Haeger is a knuckleballer and Danks could use time in AAA. But then, why give anyone the impression this race is wide open? If I were anyone vying for a position, I'd rather Williams come out and suggest "Floyd will win no matter what" rather than pitching my ass off, only to have a reservation in Charlotte awaiting me. I can't be the only one who believes Floyd is destined to win the position because Williams needs to prove the immediate results of trading Garcia benefit this club.
