There are guys out there that will come cheaper than Floyd who will win you more than 4 or 5 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his K/BB isn't that bad. He just tends to serve up homers, which just doesn't work at the Cell and doesn't make much sense either since he's typically a ground ball pitcher.

That would be one of the worst moves they could make. Hochevar is a big whatever, who cares, jesus I hope he's not expensive but he's worth a shot. It would depend upon what they'd get for Floyd.

I wish there was a way to write queries on Baseball-Reference. I was trying to extract pitchers that were drafted in the first round on current AL Central teams. Instead, I just looked up a list on Wikipedia. Possible candidates: Kyle Waldrop Luke Hochevar David Huff Rick Porcello Jake Odorizzi It's mostly likely Hochevar.

Chicago White Sox Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 30, 2012 -> 06:36 AM) This isn't really news. Floyd getting moved is not news, but potentially signing another starter is. I guess my question is what does this mean for the rest of the rotation? Let's say we sign Hochever to be our #5 starter, does Santiago start in AAA or go to our bullpen? Or maybe Hahn just wants to bring in another starter to add some general competition this spring, but it seems Axelrod would be perfectly capable of that. Needing to have 6 starters could also be a sign that Danks isn't progressing as quickly as expected or that Hahn has concerns that Quintana will regress next year.

If Hectors not in the rotation then I wanna see him stretched out in the minors. In a perfect world Danks pitches well enough that we can trade him at the deadline or next offseason and our LH starters would be Sale-Q-Santiago. That could be a real good young core of starters that would allow the Sox a lot of financial flexibility for the next few years. Further more if a guy like Rienzo/Johnson emerges this year then the Sox would have even more flexibility to build up their offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
