Meh, I don't think the Sox would have gotten anything of value if they tried to trade him, so it makes sense to just hang on to him for 1 more year.

He drives me crazy at times, but Floyd is an innings eater. I'll take that from a fourth starter.

Just be consistent, Gavin. That is all.

Prudent move. Now just concentrate on throwing strikes early in the game, and putting guys away when you have them down 0-2 and 1-2.

I think we'll see good stuff from Gavin in '13.

If anything, this makes a trade more likely.

I am perfectly fine with this.
As much Gavin frustrates me, it is only because I know he has the potential to be much better. Reality is, 200 innings need to be filled somehow. 9.5 million for 200 of Gavin Floyd quality innings is not a bad investment. An offense needs a pitcher who can keep it close till late in the game, and Sale needs innings around him. |

Agree. I think he will be traded for prospects.

Hopefully a 3B prospect.

Every summer, teams wet themselves over acquiring a Matt Garza or a Joe Blanton. Gavin has some value.

I hope so, the Sox need to break this habit they've fallen into of 'good year / bad year' syndrome.

The good thing about Floyd is that he seems to get stronger, or at least retains his strength, late into the season. Even if he puts up mediocre numbers over the year, having Floyd going strong into October would be an asset if the Sox actually could make the playoffs.

Wow, I'm surprised that both Floyd and Peavy will be back. This opens up tons of pitching options. Pretty much the Sox are set for pitching already if Danks can start the season.
Great news.

Gavin Floyd will not net a decent 3B prospect.
