Default Sox Showing Interest In McCarthy...
According to Gonzo who wrote that he was told this by MLB sources. This could be the replacement for Floyd if (when?) he is traded.

Assuming he can stay healthy (which has been a problem for him) he could be a very nice replacement.

I agree, would be a nice addition to the rotation and would allow the Sox some flexibility. FWIW, with McCarthy's health, I think since he landed in Oakland he retweaked his mechanics and pitching mindset and he's been a lot healthier than he was in Texas who I know have been lauded for their "No Pitch Counts" philosophy but it seems to have mixed results (at best) as far as protecting player health.

At any rate, I welcome this addition just to see the number of Fingernails on a blackboard posts appear.

I think McCarthy was in Texas before they instituted their No Pitch Count philosophy.

I would love to see McCarthy back with the White Sox because I think he is a decent back end of the rotation kind of guy (assuming he can stay healthy) and he also has one of the best Twitter accounts for an active major leaguer.

I remember reading about that stupid **** as long as Nolan Ryan has been involved with the Rangers' front office, which I believe dates back to 2007 or 2008.

He was hired as president in February of 2008 but I thought Hawk started talking about the "no pitch count" thing starting in February and it was implemented mainly in the minors. I can't find an article about that though.

I also can't think of any Texas starters to get hurt since that program was instituted btw. But I didn't look it up and I don't pay that much attention to Texas.

If the Sox sign McCarthy, Floyd is definitely getting traded in my opinion.
