Garcia to Philly for Gavin Floyd and Gio Gonzalez

Recommended Posts

Have any of you actually seen Gavin pitch? People need to stop acting like they know everything. Almost all of us hated when Freddy pitched last year. He couldn't throw 90 mph, he had a lazy attitude, he got in trouble for smoking the reefer, and he made $10 million.

 

KW knows more than you. All of you.

Equal I would say. I was actually pleasantly surprised with McCarthy's value over the last month.

 

 

Yes and another thing, Mcarthy has not proven a damn thing. He could pitch like crap next year. He most certainly won't win 18 games. Why does everyone think Mcarthy is so great. He has not proven anything. he had a few good starts two years ago. Rex Grossman had a few good starts this year. so what. Gio will be the replacement for cotts in the pen. Is he better than cotts? NO. So how are we better? we are not. Gavin floyd, what a joke.

Thats bulls***. If I was the GM I know I could have gotten Pelfrey, Heilman and Milledge for Garcia.

Imagine if McCarthy came to the majors and laid a total egg, went to the minors and laid an egg again. Thats what Floyd felt like to us.

 

Um, that pretty much happened. Then, they found the flaw, fixed his mechanics, and he got back to dominating. If they can do the same with Gavin Floyd...

"Gavin gives us one of the best arms in baseball," said White Sox general manager Ken Williams. "We expect him to compete with Brandon McCarthy for the fifth spot in the starting rotation."

LMFAO

What do KW and Ozzie have against f***ing BMac? BMac is gonna be more like our 2-3 starter next year...

If I wanted smoke blown up my ass I would have bought a pack of cigarettes and a short length of hose.

Here's my ideal move: Fields and Floyd for Baldelli, Sox re-sign Crede.

 

 

I could go for this one. And if Anderson really matures into the player we think he can be, Baldelli could move to LF, Gio becomes a superstar, Fields strikes out too much, Floyd meltsdown in TB, Crede signs for life and plays his entire career in Chicago, and Scott Boras gets key to the city. :cheers

The SQL gremlins are back on the board tonight!! Double posts a plenty!!

 

After thinking about it for a bit, I'm not too bothered by the move. I know that watching Freddy Garcia pitch in 2006 resulted in some of the most agonizing baseball viewing that you can go through....a seemingly indifferent attitude from a supposed stud pitcher, never knowing what he was going to give you.....I'll gladly take that $10 mill off the ledger, and spend it on better options.

Brandon will pitch better than Freddy did last season, now will he win 17 games? That depends on the offense.

And the one major positive....Brandon McCarthy is going to be in the starting rotation. It will be comical to see Ozzie's leash on him this season.
