SoxAce Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Congrats AJ. You are Zito's 1st strikeout. Fields is a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 01:20 PM) I really can't believe KW didn't acquire another starting pitcher this offseason. It almost seems like KW just doesn't want to be wrong about his moves. He doesn't let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2Repeat Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I would tend to give Floyd the benefit of the doubt if he actually had a track record of success. His only real success was last year in a few games vs. Detroit, when they had a depleted lineup. What we are seeing from him is what he has always displayed. It just bothers me that Kenny is putting so much faith in 2 pitchers who have never proven anything and one who had a really bad year last year. The fact that we can't seem to produce runs again is also bothersome. I guess this is just my spring panic, but I don't want to see what we saw last year.

If he continues to stink, hopefully we will have a short leash with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 QUOTE(Elgin Slim @ Mar 21, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) I still think that Floyd can be an average pitcher, but if he's only throwing his fastball at 89-91 mph he's going to get killed in the AL. If you look at his highlight reel from last year on whitesox.com he was throwing 93-94 consistently. I hope he can get his fastball back to that range. Floyd needs to get some neck tatoos or a neckbeard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy Garcia? id still not mind giving haeger a shot ....it takes guys a long time to master the knuckler, and i honestly think hes the type of pitcher who will only get better...but we'll see....massett or broadway will probably get the first shot, though it would be tough to stretch massett out if he starts out in the pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ramirez with a few solid plays at 2B. Maybe learning fast? Its not often I get baseball predictions right, but, I believe I was one of the few who said he'd make the roster. Glad to see that's the case. I really like this guy.

joejoesox Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 cant say i'm surprised at what i'm seeing, pretty much just as i had figured it would be ~15 era zito dominating our lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 So for those of us who missed it... was that first-batter triple off Floyd a real triple, or an OF bungle? Because in the 2nd and 3rd that I've seen, Floyd has looked pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Gavin as our 5th starter is going to be a huge mistake. He stunk it up in Philly (I've seen about 95% of his starts/appearances with Philly) and still hasn't even improved from that. I hope our 5th starter isn't on the team yet because if so, it's going to be a long season every 5th day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Now DJ is talking about Floyd being "unhittable" in the AZ Fall league a couple of years ago. His 5+ ERA there would suggest otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am more worried about Danks, and even more worried about Contreras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) i think hawk just took an indirect shot at uribe...
