Balta1701 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 8, 2008 -> 11:44 AM) Ozzie handles Danks, like Manuel handled Garland. Honestly though...you really do have to be careful with Danks. He's still just a barely 23 year old who's arm has never thrown more than 130 innings in a year. Rule of thumb says you shouldn't push him to more than 160 innings this year unless you want him to really risk injury next year, you typically don't want to add more innings than that to an arm in a year. He's got a shot at the win, we spent a lot of money on the bullpen, we're carrying 7 pitchers, and we're leading the league in innings out of our starters thanks to the other guys. Be careful with him at least for another year. Keep those innings down. Maybe even skip him a start or two as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came in with lots of upside and a top prospect from Texas and so far this year appears to have made significant strides already. He's young. We will have him for a while, no sense in treating him carelessly like a certain manager on the other side of town. With a young promising lefty, better safe than sorry.

This is supposed to be why you pay Thome and Konerko. Leadoff runner on, facing middle relief, division game, 1 run game, chance to really put another team away.

There is plenty of history to show that the Sox are doing this the right way. Its different for everyone else in the rotation, because they have all logged at least 180 innings in a season. Danks is no where close to that, and they don't want him having a second half breakdown, or worse yet, Mark Prior syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his top is about 170-175. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
