Seymizzle Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) JorDanks....what a stud He needs to show more power in my opinion. If he doesn't he'll just be another Ryan Sweeney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 10:11 PM) My guess is that it is so he can focus solely on hit hitting which by all accounts is his weakest tool. Yeah, but I don't think he's played outfield literally at all since he was drafted. I know he hasn't this year, and he only played about two weeks worth of games last season.

He was a good RF because of a gun, but he never moved well enough to be a CF. Danks on the other hand can be a GG CF which automatically makes the need for offense less important. But he has that tool anyway. Danks pretty much owns Sweeney in all aspects except an arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 09:07 AM) Yeah, but I don't think he's played outfield literally at all since he was drafted. I know he hasn't this year, and he only played about two weeks worth of games last season. His hamstring has been absolutely miserable. It makes sense. Good to see Danks and Q back in the swings of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
