Gavin Floyd

To continue with the starting rotation, I will preview Gavin Floyd. Gavin Floyd Just like with Danks, Floyd had many questions going into 2008. Can he take on the role as starter? Is he capable? Will he help or hurt the White Sox? Who’s Gavin Floyd? After a season where he started 10 games, and going 1-5 with an ERA of 5.27, Gavin Floyd would be a full-time starter. What? a full-time starter after that horrible season? Just like Danks, he proved the doubters wrong, having an outstanding season as a starter. He finished with a record of 17-8, and an ERA of 3.84. ... Read Full Story

It has been rumored that Carlos Quentin’s superhero powers come from a very strong alliance of other superheroes. The nature of his birth has recently been discovered. In the most potent high-five in history, Superman and Chuck Norris’s energies collided and, much like the big bang, creation occurred. From the explosion of their high five were born Quentin and his fraternal twin Alexei Ramirez. Of this explosion, there is rumored to be a third brother, Gavin Floyd, whose powers are so great, he can only be unleashed every 5 days (4, if he has to go on short rest). Needless to say, I haven’t ... Read Full Story

“Well, that was a little scarier than it had to be,” was my first thought after Swish caught the ball for the final out. Gavin Floyd, who has picked up his 12 th win of the year didn’t have an easy job to do against the BoSox. However, after two big blasts and some change, the Sox defeated the BoSox 6-5 and with a little help from the Royals in extra innings, regained their lead of the American League central division. Well, I haven’t seen this pitcher before. Sure his name was Gavin Floyd, looked the same, got a win, but he completely threw ... Read Full Story

It was nice while it lasted, but the 2008 baseball season is over for the White Sox. It was a tough road and it only got harder as the year went on. The Sox fought- with their paws up like a cat, their belts tightened- to the very end. They made it further than I thought they would, but it’s finally over. Gavin Floyd took the mound tonight, and unfortunately had trouble locating his pitches. If it was June, that would have been okay, but he barely made it into the middle of the fourth inning. By the time he exited, he was responsible ... Read Full Story

The Sox offense is still discouraging, but I do have some great news: He’s back! THE GAVIN FLOYD is back! Gavin Floyd was throwing himself a no-hitter into the 5th. Sure, that may not seem like THAT big of a deal, but 8 innings of scoreless ball means that he is back in shape after being roughed up (to put it kindly) in his last couple of outings. Other than that, what is there to mention? JD’s grand slam? Well, it’s there. Part of a 7-run inning which gave the Sox and John Danks a victory. Otherwise, 7 half innings of no runs produced. ...
