Real Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) Do the Sox get some time to work on that or do they have to submit their opening day roster tomorrow? just posting the facts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 My hope is that with another year behind him and the injury he had that makes him stronger and he throws harder and longer. He wants to show the Sox he still has it and thanks for sticking with him. I agree with the move. Plus, if in fact Floyd has corrected his flaw and continues to stay on top of it, then 2013 can be a big year for Gavin. Pitching is the name of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have done that? Seems like a lot given his age and injury history He is only like 31 or 32 years old I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 QUOTE (RZZZA @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 05:54 PM) Seems like just a few weeks ago everyone here was whining that Jake Peavy was over rated and how he always choked in big games. Now everyone is ecstatic that we re-signed him. hmph Because he did choke in big games last year and he was looking at a $22 mil option, which would be an overpay. But despite constantly losing to the Tigers last season, he still had a hell of a year, and for $14.5 million, I think he's worth that money.

RZZZA Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't mean to rain on this parade, but I'm going to right now: feel free to ignore me The Choke-ago White Sox left a bad taste in my mouth by choking in the last 3 weeks of the regular season. Bringing back the same guys who contributed to that choke does not fill me with a bunch of confidence. Now I realize the choke was not really the fault of the pitching staff but...I will save my happiness until I see some good moves being made with the offense, and by that I mean bringing in some new blood and not just resigning the same old guys who choked. flame shields activated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's batting .244 with 0 HR/10 RBI in Arizona Fall League Gonzo mentioned that in the Trib the other day too. My guess is, that is plan B or C. But we'll find out.

SOXOBAMA Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 One of the most sought-after pitchers in baseball won’t be hitting the open market after all. The deal replaces what would have been a $22 million club option for 2013. The White Sox instead will pay him the $4 million buyout on the pre-existing option and will have him for two seasons under the new contract. Peavy, 31, is coming off a bounce-back season in which he went 11-12 with a 3.37 ERA in 32 starts. He ranked third in the American League with 23 quality starts. Finally healthy after suffering a detached latissimus dorsi muscle behind his right shoulder in 2010, Peavy was one of the biggest reasons the White Sox were surprising contenders in the AL Central. “I’m really excited to come back to Chicago and build on what we did last year,” Peavy said in a statement issued by the team. “I made no secret of the fact that this is where I want to play. Chicago is a great city with great fans, and I can’t think of a better place to try and win a championship. With the guys we have coming back, I think we have a great opportunity to accomplish some special things.” Peavy figures to anchor the team’s 2013 starting rotation, along with left-hander Chris Sale. The White Sox plan for right-hander Gavin Floyd to join them after picking up his 2013 club option worth $9.5 million. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/chicago...xtension-103012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty34 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 30, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) Surprising news on Peavy. For only two guaranteed years, I like it even if the yearly amount is high. The thought of a rotation of a healthy Sale, Peavy, Danks, Floyd, and Quintana sounds great, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Floyd and/or Quintana got traded in the offseason. The Sox have other needs--catcher, 3B. We'll see. Surprising indeed. Probably was a make-good from being injured, shows a lot of character on Peavy's part. As far as roster make up goes, I'd like to see them stay with the rotation of Sale, Peavy, Danks, Floyd, and Quintana because of injuries. See if they can re-tool the offense/save money by dealing Rios and Ramirez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
