Gavin Floyd Signs Extension - 4/$15.5M
The White Sox signed Gavin Floyd to a four year, $15.5 million contract extension (2009-2012). Club option for 2013 could make it a $25 million deal. This deal covers his final year of near minimum, three years of arbitration eligibility, and the option potentially buys out a year of free agency. Floyd will earn $750,000 in 2009, $2.75 million in 2010, $5 million in 2011 and $7 million in 2012. The option for 2013 is worth $9.5 million.
Apparently John Danks turned down the same offer and Carlos Quentin was also approached regarding an extension but declined. According to Joe Cowley, Bobby Jenks has not been approached as of yet. He quotes KW as saying players will be approached in stages as they become eligible for arbitration. Reading between the lines, it seems the White Sox aren't too interested in giving Bobby one considering he's already been arbitration eligible once. More details as they arrive - larry

this suprises me
the sox are usually pretty tight on giving pitchers long contracts
any comparsions on how this ranks amongst other pitcher contracts?
however, locking up the core talent does make me happy :-)

Danks & Lester
had virtually the exact same numbers in 08. Danks pitched 15 fewer innings, but also have up 20 fewer hits 4 less runs. Danks had a better WHIP, but Lester won more (and lost less) because of run support, which we didn’t give Danks in 07 or 08. It’s gonna cost the same amount Lester got for Danks. Kenny must have done some serious convincing on Reinsdorf for him to allow a pitcher contract longer than 3 years.

Lester is the comp for Danks
Baker (4/$15.25M w/ 9.25 option) is the comp for Floyd. Though Baker has better peripherals. You could argue that the Sox had to pay a small big-market premium for a slightly less reliable future performance.

“I’m about to get married, and I have a family to look forward to,” said Floyd of the new deal. "I feel like I made the right decision with my family and my fiancée and my agent. We were just trying to figure out what we wanted to do.
“To be with the White Sox for four more years and hopefully longer than that, to have financial security with my family, it means a lot. I don’t have to worry about arbitration or years to come. I just can go out and play.”

Maybe it’s just me, but Gavin seems like the type you’d rather go year-to-year with. Of course, if he goes Jason Schmidt somewhere down the line, the Sox are protected. Either way, he’s set for life.

it certainly came as a shock
warning: spoilery, extremely geeky b-star finale rant below
in one respect it made sense and definitely gave me a chill, but in another it was so out of left field that i’m not sure it was totally earned. in general i thought the second half of the finale was a bit disappointingly cheesy. while apollo is just the sort of wide-eyed idealist to make the back to nature proposal, nearly 40K people all agreeing to it without much complaint strains credulity. and the thing with ron moore reading about mitochondrial eve at the end was so out of character for a show that has otherwise taken an outrageous premise 100% seriously that it annoyed me. and the six and gaius hallucinations being actual angels or whatever was also a bit much for me as well.
still, i loved the show, and as finales go, it still had a lot going for it. one other question: why did cavill suddenly blow his brains out when everybody started shooting up the CIC? that didn’t really make any sense to me.
by Ryno on Mar 22, 2009 10:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

and the Cavill suicide was really fucking odd. But still a great finale, plenty of good shows have ended in disappointing ways but BSG rapped up nicely.

at the gidp avoiding list
btw, I think it’s the list is all gidp, not the bases-loaded variety only:
Yes, Joe Morgan was better at avoiding the GDP than any player in history (Retro-history, I mean). In his long career, Morgan came to the plate 2,046 times with a man on first base and fewer than two outs. An average player would have grounded into 235 double plays, while Little Joe got twin-killed less than half that number, 102 times. That savings of some 133 double plays was worth roughly 63 runs for his team, or around six wins.
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Asians are not as physically strong as their western rivals. Nor are they as explosive. But strength sufficient is not enough to defeat the reflexes that their players have developed; and explosiveness in itself cannot compensate for the methodology and sangfroid of their athletes. Korea has tried to look for more heavily-built men who are capable of hitting more forcefully.
Our hopes were based on the patriotic dedication of our athletes and the fervor with which they defend their honor and their people, from a pool which is several times, even dozens of times, lesser in human resources as compared, for example, with Japan, discounting from those resources those that are weak in conscience and permit themselves to be bribed by our enemies. But this is not enough to maintain our supremacy in baseball. We have to apply methods that are more technical and scientific when we develop our sports figures. Our country’s excellent educational and sports base allows for that.

Jeter is the equilevent of Farve for MLB
A guy who was very successful in the beginning of his career, but started trailing at the end. With everyone defending him cause he won championships…almost a decade ago.

I agree, but for Jeter is is worse really.
He is STILL noted for his amazing defense (that he never had), and now being defended for it. At least Farve was still good at what he was known for.

I didn't see this posted anywhere
Guillen said he’d employ a platoon system in center field and at leadoff, with Brian Anderson playing center against left-handers and leading off in those games.
Jerry Owens is making a late run for the job against right-handed pitchers. He drew three walks, stole two bases and scored three times Sunday.
But Dewayne Wise came off the bench and singled, stole two bases and scored an insurance run.
“The battle is still there,” Guillen said.

Quote of the day...
commenterwrote:
Am I the only one who has noticed the incredible number of walks Owens is taking. Even with a .208 batting average, he has a .350 OBP. That is definately leadoff OBP. I certainly see why everyone is down on him, hitting .208, and up on Anderson, hitting .268, but if Owens’ bat comes around, and he keeps the patience he’s had this spring, he’ll be an OBP machine.

White Sox Trade On The Horizon?
By Steve Adams [March 22 at 3:16pm CST]
Scot Gregor writes that White Sox General Manager Kenny Williams may have addressed the team’s need of a leadoff hitter via the trade market.
Earlier today, Joe Cowley had a Twitter update saying Juan Pierre could be on his way to Chicago, though it wasn’t a reliable source. He debunked his own rumor shortly after, stating “Juan Pierre still a Dodger.”
One trade did happen, as confirmed by both Cowley and Gregor, though. The Sox sent catcher Chris Stewart to the Yankees for a player to be named later.
