Floyd Can't Find Zone, Offense Picks Up Slack

in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintGavin Floyd became just the 5th White Sox pitcher in my lifetime to earn a victory while walking 7 (or more) batters. Interestingly, Sox pitching had 5 such outings in May of '79, including back-to-back games.
Dewayne Wise's separated shoulder is bad enough to necessitate a DL trip, and not surprisingly, according to Joe Cowley -- not the one with the 7-walk no-hitter linked above -- Jerry Owens will get the call.

i’m trying to figure out what’s worse: what the kid said (and sigs) that got everybody’s knickers in a twist or the fact that a bunch of grown folks allowed a kid to get their knickers into such a gordian knot-style twist.

This truly sucks. I am upset.
I was 19 in ’76, and I loved the guy. Fernando came shortly thereafter, and it was cool to see a couple of stars that were iconoclastic, shaking up the Establishment. Loved it. Christ, he was only <3 years older than me.
And Marilyn. Let’s say I loved her soap.

it might be JO’s job to lose again.

Mark Fidrych, a Northborough native whose aw-shucks charm and on-the-mound antics helped make him a national phenomenon as a Detroit Tigers rookie pitcher in 1976, was killed in an accident in his hometown this afternoon while working on his pickup truck. He was 54.
Fidrych, who won 19 games as a rookie before injuries derailed his career, was found dead on his 107-acre farm this afternoon, according to the office of Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. Fidrych was found by a family friend underneath his truck at about 2:30 p.m.

Honest question (reposting from a dead thread)
Not taking into account that the Sox wouldn’t make this move, as it seems they don’t want to add salary and KW stated he’s not looking to go outside of the organization for a CF, but…
Any ideas on how much would it take to pry Marlon Byrd from the Rangers?
I read the fangraphs article posted previously (by Wiz?), and he seemed to be the best option for the Sox mentioned, given that he’s on a one year contract with the Rangers (at least that’s what ESPN tells me), so he won’t be blocking Jordan Danks in a few years, assuming that Jordan cuts down on his strikeouts ;)
Also, I’m not asking this in an attempt to dance on Wise’s grave, as he very well may be back in a few weeks, but just because I’m curious as to what Byrd’s relative market value would be.
You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

don't think anyone views this as dancing

I've considered Byrd underrated and a good Sox target for a while now.
The Sox would likely have to overpay for him, though. Before last year, they were asking Murton+a prospect(Gallagher, I think) from the Cubs. That’s just not worth it. He would be a perfect fit, though.

was he on a 1-year contract at that time too?

i gotta think that at least kdub is making an effort to investigate outside options
the fact that wise and ba were chosen over JO at the start of the season shows kdub/ozzie think much of JO. that wise is injured forces the sox hand a little bit too. if the price for a competent center fielder is too steep – and i’m not sure what steep is, let’s say b+ prospect – then write off center field for the first few months of the season when the standings dictate whether sox are going to go for it or sell off…
