Newsbreakers
September 17, 2009
Gavin Floyd will miss his next scheduled start on Monday as he deals with hip inflammation, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Our View:
There is a chance he could even be shut-down. For now, the soon-to-be-activated Jake Peavy will slide into his rotation spot.
September 16, 2009
Gavin Floyd gave up three earned runs on four hits over a mere three innings in Wednesday's 4-1 loss at Seattle. He had one walk with one strikeout.
Our View:
Floyd was dealt a loss for his short outing, and is now 11-11 for 2009. He is 1-4 over his last six starts, and allowed three or more earned runs four times over the span.
September 12, 2009
Gavin Floyd was tagged for five earned runs on six hits over five innings in Friday's 7-1 loss at the Angels. He had two walks and two strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd was dealt his 10th loss of 2009 following his poor performance from the hill. He was a disappointment after only allowing one earned run over eight innings in his last start against Boston at U.S. Cellular Field.
September 5, 2009
Gavin Floyd only surrendered one earned run on three hits over eight innings in Saturday's 5-1 win over Boston at U.S. Cellular Field. He issued no walks and racked up 11 strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd had a strong outing as he attempts to keep the Sox in the pennant race. He collected his 11th win, and set a new game-high for 2009 with 11 strikeouts.
August 31, 2009
Gavin Floyd gave up three earned runs on nine hits over six innings in Monday's 4-1 loss at Minnesota. He had no walks and four strikeouts, and allowed two homers.
Our View:
It was another disappointing night for the White Sox, and Floyd falls to 10-9 for the season. He is winless over his last three starts, and went 2-3 over six starts in August.
August 26, 2009
Gavin Floyd allowed two earned runs on five hits over six innings in Wednesday's 3-2 loss at Boston. He had one walk and four strikeouts.
Our View:
Chicago tied the game at 2-2 in the eighth inning, so Floyd ends the night with a no-decision rather than a loss. He bounced back from his last outing, when he gave up four earned runs over 7.1 innings against Baltimore.
August 15, 2009
Gavin Floyd was in control from the hill in Saturday's 8-1 win at Oakland, as he only issued one earned run on eight hits over seven innings. He had two walks and fired eight strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd bounced back well from his last outing when he was rocked for five earned runs over 5.2 innings at Seattle, and collected his 10th win of 2009. He has only allowed one earned in four of his last five starts.
August 11, 2009
Gavin Floyd was lit up for five earned runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings in Monday's 6-4 loss at Seattle. He had three walks and four strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd was a disappointment tonight after only allowing one earned run in each of his last three starts. He should be able to get back on track, and should remain active in fantasy leagues for his next battle from the bump.
August 5, 2009
Gavin Floyd only surrendered two runs (one earned) on six hits over eight innings in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Angels at U.S. Cellular Field. He had one walk and fired six strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd had a strong outing as he earned his team-leading ninth win of the season. He is in the zone right now as he only allowed one earned run in each of his last three starts.
July 30, 2009
Gavin Floyd was excellent on Thursday, but he did not factor into the decision as the White Sox beat the Yankees 3-2. Floyd went 7.2 innings and allowed one run on four hits while walking one and striking out ten.
Our View:
It is unfortunate that Floyd didn't get the win tonight, because he was absolutely outstanding on the hill for the Sox. That makes two straight no decisions fo Floyd in games that he should have won, but as long as he keeps pitching well the wins should show up.
July 25, 2009
Gavin Floyd scattered six hits and three walks over over 6.2 innings on Saturday, but didn't earn a decision as the White Sox fell to the Tigers ten innings. He allowed just one earned run and struck out seven.
Our View:
Floyd pitched well enough to win, but his bullpen collapsed and the run support wasn't there. He now has put together back to back quality starts after allowing five earned runs in each of his previous two.
July 20, 2009
Gavin Floyd was solid, improving to 8-6, despite giving up three home runs to the Rays on Monday. Floyd failed to give up any other hits over seven innings and walked just two while logging seven strikeouts.
Our View:
He'll have to limit the long ball, but it was still nice to see him get back on track after two rough outings. Floyd is a streaky pitcher, so you will probably be safe playing him in his next turn.
July 11, 2009
Gavin Floyd gave up five earned runs on eight hits over 7.2 innings in Saturday's 8-7 win at Minnesota. He had no walks and fired seven strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd did not pitch very well tonight, but the Sox provided enough run support for him to collect his seventh win of the season. He allowed five earned runs in each of his last two starts, and his ERA climbed to 4.44.
July 4, 2009
Gavin Floyd failed to pitch at least six innings for the first time since May 17 on Saturday, and took the loss as the Royals beat Chicago 6-4 on the Fourth of July.
Our View:
Floyd has really turned things around since a rocky start, and is worth an own in every format.
June 29, 2009
Gavin Floyd only surrendered five hits over 7.2 scoreless innings in Monday's 6-3 win at Cleveland. He issued two walks with five strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd continues to pitch great, as he allowed one or less earned runs in each of his last five starts, and is 3-0 over the span. He shall remain active in fantasy leagues.
June 24, 2009
Gavin Floyd allowed three runs (only one earned) on six hits over six innings in Wednesday's 10-7 win over the Dodgers at U.S. Cellular Field. He had two walks and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Floyd evens his season record to 5-5, and only issued one earned run in each of his last four starts. Keep him active in fantasy leagues.
June 18, 2009
Gavin Floyd was solid in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the cross-town rival Cubs at Wrigley Field, as he only allowed one earned run on four hits over seven innings. He had three walks and two strikeouts.
Our View:
The Sox led 3-1 when Floyd exited, but he was unfortunately forced to take a no-decision as the Cubs rallied to score five runs over the last innings of the game to pull out a win. Floyd left with a 3-1 lead in his last outing against the Tigers as well. On the bright side, he trimmed his ERA down to 4.65 today.
June 11, 2009
Gavin Floyd was in control in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field, as he only allowed one earned run on five hits over eight innings. He had no walks and fired five strikeouts.
Our View:
He left the game with a 3-1 lead, but Curtis Granderson launched a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to tie the game 3-3, leaving Floyd with a no-decision rather than a win. He is pitching very well right now, as he allowed two or less earned runs in each of his three starts so far in June.
June 6, 2009
Gavin Floyd produced his second straight good outing on Saturday as the White Sox beat the Indians 4-2. Floyd went 6.2 innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits while walking one and striking out seven.
Our View:
Floyd has been inconsistent all season, but today he looked like the pitcher most thought he would be this year. Floyd produced two very solid starts this week, so maybe he has turned the corner. Floyd owners should keep him in the lineup, but don't be shocked if he has a poor outing in his next few starts.
June 1, 2009
Gavin Floyd pitched well in Monday's 6-2 win over Oakland at U.S. Cellular Field, as he only allowed two earned runs on four hits over seven innings. He had three walks and fired eight strikeouts.
Our View:
He exited the game tied at 2-2, and it is a shame he was dealt a no-decision rather than a win. Bartolo Colon was originally supposed to go tonight, and he will now start Tuesday's game.
June 1, 2009
Gavin Floyd will take the mound Monday when the White Sox play the A's instead of scheduled starter Bartolo Colon according to the Chicago Tribune. Colon will start Tuesday.
Our View:
It's unclear why the switch was made, but be sure to change your lineup accordingly.
May 27, 2009
Gavin Floyd was the tough luck loser for the White Sox on Wednesday as his team fell to the Angels 3-1. Floyd went eight innings and allowed three runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out eight.
Our View:
Floyd was good tonight, but he was outdueled by Angels' pitcher Jared Weaver. Floyd has been very inconsistent this season, but his last two starts have been very impressive. Hopefully he can build on these starts and produce every time out, but until he proves it his fantasy value is still high risk.
May 22, 2009
Gavin Floyd threw eight shutout innings in Friday's 2-0 win over the Pirates. He allowed just four base runners while striking out eight in his best performance of the season.
Our View:
Floyd's last five starts have been terrible, so this was a big relief for Sox fans. He was a strong fantasy option for most of last season, but we would be hesitant to jump back on his bandwagon following a strong outing against the Pirates.
May 17, 2009
Gavin Floyd was lit up for six earned runs on seven hits over five innings of work at Toronto. He had two walks with four strikeouts.
Our View:
The Sox have lost their fourth straight game this season. Floyd has gone five straight starts without a win. His last win came on April 19 against Tampa Bay.
May 11, 2009
Gavin Floyd continued to add upon his terrible start to the 2009 season with his worst performance yet, allowing eight runs off 11 hits and three walks with three strikeouts over five innings in a loss to Cleveland.
Our View:
Floyd had a breakout year with Chicago last season and opened 2009 with nice starts in two of his first three outings but has been downright awful in his past four. He's still worth holding on to in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues, but he clearly cannot be entrusted with a start at this point and it wouldn't be crazy to drop him in shallow to mid-level leagues.
May 5, 2009
Gavin Floyd struggled again on Tuesday against th Royals, lasting only five innings and allowing six runs on six hits while walking two and striking out two. Floyd did not factor into the decision.
Our View:
Floyd has been pretty bad lately, and the young hurler is starting to lose his fantasy value. He has two wins, but his ERA is now at 6.29 and his WHIP is far too high. It may not be time to give up on him just yet, but watch him closely and play him only in good matchups for the next few starts.
April 24, 2009
Gavin Floyd struggled mightily in his start on Friday, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits in 4.1 innings. He walked five and also struck out five. He is now 2-2 on the season.
Our View:
Floyd walked five hitters in this outing, a problem that has plagued him in other starts this year. When he throws strikes he is pretty good, but when he puts people on base he is in trouble.
April 19, 2009
Gavin Floyd allowed two runs over seven innings of work as the White Sox beat the Rays 12-2 on Sunday. He struck out seven while giving up six hits and no walks.
Our View:
Perhaps the best news from this start was that he did not walk anybody. In his last outing against the Tigers, he posted seven free passes.
April 13, 2009
Gavin Floyd allowed six earned runs on five hits over five innings in Monday's 10-6 win at Detroit. He issued seven walks, fired two strikeouts, and surrendered a three-run homer to Ramon Santiago.
Our View:
It was a very sloppy outing for Floyd, but he was handed his first win of the season as his teammates offered plenty of offensive support. He is now 5-0 over 10 career starts against Detroit.
April 13, 2009
Gavin Floyd is set for his second start of the season today against the Tigers at Comerica Park, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
Floyd is 4-0 over nine career starts against Detroit, with a 3.23 ERA. The Sox have won two straight games, and trail Detroit by a half game for the AL Central lead.
April 8, 2009
Gavin Floyd struck out nine batters in seven innings of work as the White Sox fell 2-0 to the Royals on Wednesday. He allowed both runs while giving up six hits and two walks.
Our View:
It's an unfortunate loss for Floyd as he pitched pretty well. He only wasted 96 pitches through seven innings and generated twice as many ground balls as fly balls. That was not the case last season when he gave up 30 home runs.
March 28, 2009
Gavin Floyd threw six innings, allowing seven hits and no runs while striking out seven in Chicago's 6-1 win over the Dodgers.
Our View:
Floyd's spring ERA is now at 2.57. Some fantasy owners are not believers in Floyd, despite his 17 win performance from last season, but his start this spring should at least be mild encouragement.
March 22, 2009
The Chicago Tribune reports that the White Sox have signed starter Gavin Floyd to a four-year contract extension.
Our View:
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it is believed that a club option for 2013 will push the total north of $25 million.
March 18, 2009
Gavin Floyd got knocked around a bit in his start on Wednesday, allowing three runs in five innings. He was victimized by two home runs, but struck out six against only one walk.
Our View:
Floyd will be trying to build off a strong 2008 campaign where he won 17 games and recorded a 3.84 ERA in the tough AL Central. He's well on his way with a 3.60 ERA this spring.
February 26, 2009
Gavin Floyd allowed a run on two hits in two innings Thursday as the White Sox took down the Rockies 4-1.
Our View:
It may be too much to ask, but we'd like to think Floyd can improve upon a 2008 season in which he set career-highs in starts, innings pitched, wins, and strikeouts. The 82 percent of fantasy owners that laid claim to his services last season would surely argue he's capable.
February 25, 2009
Gavin Floyd signed a one-year, $520,000 deal with the White Sox on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
Floyd started 33 games for Chicago last season, recording a very impressive 17-8 record with a 3.84 ERA. He didn't pitch well in his lone postseason start, but having that experience should make him a better pitcher for the future.
