EvilJester99 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Pitcher Gavin Floyd is close to signing a one-year deal with an unknown team, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun tweets. Encina indicates that that team is not the Orioles, who were known to be interested in Floyd. Floyd missed most of the 2013 season after having Tommy John surgery in May. In 168 innings with the White Sox in 2012, he posted a 4.29 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 14, 2013 -> 08:13 AM) Maybe but I wouldnt be surprised if that was actually true He had surgery last May for 2 tears. The initial recovery time was estimated at 14-19 months. To think he will be ready to get MLB hitters out in 11 is a dream. So figure a miracle happens and he is ready to go by June. He is a notoriously slow starter even when healthy his first couple months of the season are awful, so IMO, if everything goes perfectly, maybe by August or September he actually can be effective.

southsider2k5 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If it is an "unknown" team, it isn't us. Good luck Gavin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Floyd will probably be much worse this year anyway when he comes back. 2014-15 season however will be the time he is his usual self. BTW: Anyone else look at Jester's avatar first before reading the post? Edited December 14, 2013 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I know W-L isn't a good way to judge pitchers, but Floyd seems to buck the trend. In games when he gets the win his career ERA is 1.97. In games when he gets no decision, it's 4.85. In games when he gets the loss it's 7.32. Naturally they should break down this way in general, but to this extreme? Maybe it just shows when he is good, he is really good, and when he is not he is really bad.

I have yet to believe in that theory 100%. Aces bring a lot of team confidence when they are out on the mound. Then again last year's team destroys that theory with Sale.

Wins: 1.89 No decisions : 4.10 Losses :6.67 I would say 99% of pitchers would have it break down like that, but even Buehrle"s no decision ERA is better than his career mark. If Floyd isn't racking up wins, he is pretty much getting rocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rienzo can become Gavin then that's a win here. Not saying I disagree with you cause I don't but Floyd became extremely underrated because he was frustrating to watch.

oldsox Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2013 -> 09:11 AM) That is the agent talking. Agents are paid to lie. It's a given. Then, if the agent is an attorney who is afraid of the courtroom, then the probability of his lying exceeds 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan-kwman Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 We need to sign Gavin back, he is a proven MLB pitcher. He has the best record against the Tigers. He logs the innings & we need legit right hand starters. Other then the Tommy John, he has been pretty injury free. I hope Hahn gets him back. I could see him & Danks having good bounce back years. Plus. I heard he' s ahead of schedule & should be ready for opening day. Also I heard the sox have not checked on his progress or haven't contacted him. If that's true shame on the sox.
