Danks and Arbitration

[Greg Hibbard]

if Danks ends up at $15 million territory, I could see the White Sox going 5-6 years to make a play for him.

That's still a serious hometown discount.

His arb figures will be determined by the rest of the season. I have the feeling that he feels comfortable with coop but like Buehrle probably won't be satisfied with less than he's worth. That is why he didn't sign a deal earlier. My guess he gets premium money but not sabathia money. 14 to 18 mil 3 yrs. Danks won't have to go to arbitration. The sox know what they got.

There's no way he can make that much in his next year of arbitration. He'll likely get $7-8 million in 2011 and $11-13 in his final year. So signing him to a 3/$45-50 million deal basically means you're paying him $25-30 million for his first free agency year.

 

Ain't happening.
