daa84 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 not sure why jordan danks doesn't get more credit on this board....has a double and a walk today. His obp is over .400 and OPS near .900. I know everyone hates the K's, but hes cut them down a bit, and as long as he is walking im ok with it. not sure how is defense has progressed, but I know he was a + defender at one point as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future bench players that play plus D and won't hit much. Escobar was a consensus top 10 prospect while everyone wants to s*** on Danks.

Unless we no longer value Danks as a prospect and future OF for this team, then yeah, severely limit his playing time and improvement by putting him on the Sox bench.

Next year that's probably what we do with him, it's hard to see him doing much but striking out a lot of he gets 125 at bats the rest of the year.

I think that is a function of the fact that this is his 3rd year in Charlotte and the first two seasons he was mediocre at best. He keeps progressing like he has this season and he definitely could be a good 4th or 5th OFer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Mitchell with another "boom or bust" game. 0 for 3 with 3 k's. Pedro Hernandez didn't give up a single run in his outing. ERA of 2.43 on the season. Other than Thompson and Sanchez, not much reason to depress oneself opening the W-S box. Maybe just for the Shoemaker fans around here. K. Walker has 3 walks. And this guy seems to have announced his arrival with a 2 homer game and white hot start. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?p...&pid=458088 Edited June 1, 2012 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Hernandez didn't give up a single run in his outing. ERA of 2.43 on the season. His ERA is very deceiving. With only 27 Ks in 48 innings, it says something about his stuff. While he must be doing something right with an ERA that low and a good amount of innings, his stuff suggests nothing more than backend rotation fodder or a bullpen arm. Granted, I think that's what many expected from him, I am tempering my enthusiasm about his 2012 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Pedro Hernandez's number don't impress me. 30K in 55 innings isn't very inspiring, especially when his BB/9 rate is 2.7. Those numbers need to go in opposite directions.

Jake Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hernandez's eventual AAA promotion will tell the story. If his stuff is that bad, he'll get shelled against better hitters and small ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, I think that's what many expected from him, I am tempering my enthusiasm about his 2012 year. But couldn't the same arguments be applied to Quintana, Axelrod and Doyle? I get the K/9 and BB/9 thing, and not every young pitcher without stuff matures into the next Mark Buehrle, but at the very least, he should be able to turn into a serviceable reliever. Another example would be Zach Stewart. Even though his fastball's "only" by 88-91 for most of this season, it's the movement and location which has allowed him to be relatively successfuly, certainly more successful than 2011 when he more consistently threw 90-93.

Definitely to Doyle and Axelrod. They have the same projections as Hernandez. Bullpen fodder, maybe a fifth starter. I don't think many people have high hopes for those two. Only so many guys can get by in the Majors without above-average stuff and stick in the rotation. Quintana, however, has continuously missed bats as a pro and has had very good K numbers including this year. Then, obviously, he continued to pitch well in the Majors. He looks like a possible mid-rotation starter. I am not saying there is anything wrong with having a potential serviceable reliever in your system like Hernandez, but let's now view his ERA as a sign that he is becoming a legit prospect is my only point.

I get he is a plus fielder, but he is a minus hitter. I am really hoping he gets sent out once Brent is healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
