    Gavin Floyd: Bad Start or Bad Year

    What do ya think?

    He was all over the place again today (with terrible body language) and a WHIP slightly under 2.00, isnt gonna work out that well for you over the long haul. Maybe hes coming down from his career year??

    Re: Gavin Floyd: Bad Start or Bad Year

    He was a likely candidate to show some regression, but I wouldn't go as far to predict a bad year. He didn't have command of his curve ball today. When he doesn't have his curve, it's normally problems for him.

    He did a good job of battling and keeping his team in the game and gave them the chance to come back and win.

    Re: Gavin Floyd: Bad Start or Bad Year

    Gaving Floyd is a very overrated pitcher. He allowed 30 HRS, and that's too many (even for pitching in a hitters park).

    He's obviously having control issues. He already has 4 Wild Pitches (he had 9 last year in 200+ innings pitched).

    That said, I'm sure his WHIP will go down. I just think that people got too caught up with his fast start and his win total...

    By whose standards? I honestly have not seen one projection of him duplicating 2008.

    Casual fans. The ones who judge a pitcher based on their wins and wins only.

    Re: Gavin Floyd: Bad Start or Bad Year

    Back to topic though: Would you call 12-15 wins, a 4.5 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.41 bad or just mediocre? Because that's what I'd expect him to have...

    It's definitely serviceable. 15 wins would be fantastic. We aren't expecting him to be our ace, rather, our third starter.

    Re: Gavin Floyd: Bad Start or Bad Year

    Yeah. I just put in the 15 wins because I didn't want to **** anyone off. I'm guessing it'd be more like 11 or 12
