May 2, 201312 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) I have a sneaky feeling we've heard the last of an effective Gavin Floyd. Man, how pitchers come and go in baseball. fixed.
May 3, 201312 yr Tear in his elbow. He gone. Sox will be better for it with the developmental time that Santiago will get. However, they're dumb as rocks for not dumping Floyd's salary when they had the chance.
May 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2013 -> 07:04 PM) What offers were out there for him? How should I know?
May 3, 201312 yr That stinks, thanks for the memories Gavin. Thankfully they don't have additional years locked up in him. It's Santiago time for sure.

What memories are those? '08? Haha. He didn't really have any stand out games that I can remember in his Sox tenure. Just a lot of frustration followed by intermittent stretches of dominance, followed immediately by more frustration haha
May 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Reddy @ May 2, 2013 -> 10:48 PM) that's sad... i really actually liked Gavin. For once, we agree. I always liked him a lot too. Hopefully he can recover and we'll give him a shot at the minimum. Man, that sucks.

I'm not saying he was supposed to be lights out, I'm saying he doesn't have like one defining moment. Like Danks is just as frustrating as Floyd, but he always has Game 163. Floyd was just.... there.

Like Danks is just as frustrating as Floyd, but he always has Game 163. Floyd was just.... there. He had two or three one hitters in 2008. It seems he's done that at least twice against the Tigers in his career. Edited May 3, 201312 yr by caulfield12

You know nothing about baseball if you think that's a common occurance.
May 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 2, 2013 -> 10:58 PM) ........uhm.....ok. You are speaking authoritatively on what the White Sox should have done, when you self-admittedly have no idea what you are talking about.

Floyd is the kind of pitcher if you don't have in your rotation, you are looking for someone like him. Or have we all forgotten the White Sox fifth starter derby's?
May 3, 201312 yr Gavin has never been a top-line starter, but when you consider what the Sox had to give up to get him and what they've had to pay him, he's brought value to the team.

There's no doubt Gavin has been a valuable member of the Sox over the years. However, he never took that next step with us and it became quite clear he never would. He is what he is, a great #4 starter on a championship team and one that can eat a lot of innings. That's nothing to complain about, but we seem to have the depth to make up for his loss.
May 3, 201312 yr Also, this is my most memorable Gavin Floyd game. I remember being pissed that Ozzie didn't put a defensive replacement in for Swisher. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CH...200805060.shtml
May 3, 201312 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 3, 2013 -> 08:08 AM) Never forget. LOL, I was at the first game of that DH, that was fun.
May 3, 201312 yr Author I'll bet there's a 50/50 shot that he signs a minor league deal with the ChiSox in the offseason.
