fathom Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 09:43 PM) Excellent. Atkins is the man ($1 keeper in my league,) and Floyd can go to hell. How fast until someone brings up KW's quote of "not trading a SP unless it helps the 2007 team" once Floyd gets sent down? I don't care about the quote....I'll have a lot more respect for KW if he sends Floyd down to the minors WHERE HE BELONGS instead of keeping him on the major league roster in order to try and save face. Gavin Floyd is a bad pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just obvious to me numerous people within our organization thought way too much of Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 I must say, Brian is showing some confidence at the plate right now. He's taking some of these pitches nicely. He needs to cut down on his swing though it seems way too often that he's taking some big hack at a pitch he should just be trying to make contact with. And Anderson walks. He's seen a lot of pitches today, he's had two 3-1 counts, a groundout, a single and a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) What's so tremendous about that play, Hawk and DJ?

Harry Chappas Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Ed Farmer is beside himself that this game is still being played. Is the field literally underwater? Are players floating away and being removed on stretchers as they hurt themself? Edited March 23, 2007 by Jenks Heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a great play by any means and considering how badly he f***ed up the charge initially he's lucky to have made that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. I think fathom's right. Garcia was worth more than Floyd + Gio. Philly knows it, and we should know it, especially after watching Floyd this spring.

HeGone33 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I really hope Danks can string together a couple starts like today and build up that confidence. Im excited about watching him pitch this year. He seems like a bada@@. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Sox lose 5-3 in a rain shortened 6 1/2 inning game. Floyd was s*** and Danks was the balls considering he didn't have his best stuff today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not Garcia requires surgery, at the time the trade was made, we should have received more. Not really, Freddy has proven he had even less value than we thought. An injured, declining pitcher in his walk year isnt worth a damn. Its really nice to see a 21 year old in Danks go out and take the freaking roster spot. Nothing was handed to him, he decided within himself that he is going to go out and make something of himself, and he sure has. That should be encouraging to everyone on this site.

An injured, declining pitcher in his walk year isnt worth a damn. The point here is you can't apply what we know now about an injured pitcher to the trade in December. And what does it say when Philadelphia was shocked with the package we asked for -- thinking it was initially a salary dump?

RockRaines Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) If we traded Garcia for Hirsh-Willy T-Buchholz, people would probably complain just as much. "Willy T is just the Latin Podsednik" "Hirsh belongs in AAA(6.17 ERA this spring,6.04 MLB ERA) "Buchholz is trash" "Wheres our Liriano?" Garcia is garbage, yet we should have received a ton for him.
