stmorck Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 What is everyone's thoughts about Jordan Danks coming to the major leagues in a big role. He seems defensively, with a few tweeks in hitting he could be a great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 He needs more time. It sounds like the glove is there, but right now he is putting up Josh Fields/Joe Borchard type strike out numbers, without the power. He has got to get that swing fixed, or he would put up Mark Reynolds type K numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Strikeouts are a concern. Other than that, he's progressing through the system very nicely (and quickly). But I'm hoping the team doesn't rush him too fast and screw up his development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'm hoping he starts in AAA this year. Play a year in AAA and than maybe be a late season call up if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 11:54 AM) I'm hoping he starts in AAA this year. Play a year in AAA and than maybe be a late season call up if needed. I could see him starting off in AA again this year also, depending on how he looks in ST. He really didn't perform well in BHam last summer, but some of that was injury related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 He won't be hitting better than .250 in the majors with his K numbers in the minors. He really needs more time in AA or AAA. At least a half season, if not the entire season. He is a great looking prospect, but he still has major holes in his game that need fine-tuning. Frankly, I would rather have Jones play than Danks, although that is not ideal, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 QUOTE (stmorck @ Dec 11, 2009 -> 11:44 AM) What is everyone's thoughts about Jordan Danks coming to the major leagues in a big role. My thought is that would be both the worst thing we could simulateously do for Jordan and our team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I want to see Jordan obliterate the Southern league for half a season (and cutting down the strikeouts would be nice) before he's even considered for a spot on the big club.
