Reddy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy the Clown Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 That stinks, thanks for the memories Gavin. Thankfully they don't have additional years locked up in him. It's Santiago time for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can recover and we'll give him a shot at the minimum. Man, that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, 2013 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 3, 2013 -> 07:11 AM) 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.

witesoxfan Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'll bet there's a 50/50 shot that he signs a minor league deal with the ChiSox in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
