BlackSox13 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 "The Braves have agreed to a minor-league deal with left John Danks, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (via Twitter). Danks, 31, was said to be seeking a comeback opportunity." http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/brav...p;post-id=80434 Colon, Dickey, the trade for Garcia and now the Danks signing. I think this shows Atlanta was never going to cough up the prospects for Sale or Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Funny how we couldn't wait to get rid of Danks because he was so bad, only to turn around and trade for James Shields'. Oh the irony. Edited December 13, 2016 by BlackSox13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It would be cool to see him make it, even as a reliever (like Cal Eldred did with the Cardinals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 So, off the top of my head, we have Linebrink, Greg Walker/Scott Fletcher, AJ, Tyler Flowers, Bonifacio, Beckham, Danks all going to ATL after the Sox...who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 This sounds like one of those "must be added to the MLB roster by May 1st" type of deals. I'd be shocked if he actually find his way back to the majors this year, but good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically Flowers went back to ATL. Wish nothing but the best for Danks. Hopefully he makes it. He always took the ball and did well for us before his injury. Will never forget #163.

He's a helluva a competitor he just had the single most devastating injury to a pitcher...and he's being paid nothing. Minor League deal he can be cut at any time.

Con te Giolito Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Correlation/causation and all that, but the Sox fell off the face of the earth after they DFA'd him. TWTW is off the charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWTW is off the charts. But we could make the same argument/s about Latos and Rollins, even though Anderson put up better numbers. Easier to blame it on the infamous Rangers disaster on May 6th.

Easier to blame it on the infamous Rangers disaster on May 6th. May 10th. I know, because I was there and it was my birthday present. There was a long rain delay, they came back, Avi cleared the bases with a double to put us up 10-5. It was late and our 1 y/o needed to get to bed, and I figured it was over, so I agreed with my wife that we could leave. Our season ended a few minutes after we walked in our front door.

I would put a rotator cuff injury as more devastating than a capsular repair, but the point is taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
