If Sale, Samardzija, and Quintana had two great months of being a top 3, nobody would care that Danks had a handful of bad starts.
He's a 5th starter who got hurt after being paid. Nothing he can do about it now. If he gets 32 starts, and the Sox go 16-16 in hist starts, mission accomplished from your 5th starter.
You hope that Danks can pitch effectively enough to hold down that 5th spot. He pitched like 13 innings of shut out ball but gave up a lot of hits. That came tumbling down last night in the 5th when he gave up 5 runs. Seems when he gets hit and the other team scores he just can't stop the bleeding. 14 innings over two games and 21 hits allowed. Now Noesi may be a lost cause and I wonder when he gets released?
