Jake Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I don't expect him to stay long if Fuku stays out. You're really throwing a wrench into the development of a potentially starting-caliber player. Would have been great to see him finish the year in AAA over .300, etc. He may have even had trade value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy the Clown Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Not a lot of 26 year old rookies go on to be starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an ideal 4th OF though... plays plus defense, has played all three spots, has a little speed, and occasionally runs into one with the bat. And all for cheap.

elrockinMT Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Maybe they called him up so he and his brother don't get into trouble together in Charlotte? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget, all of major league baseball could have had him for the price of $50,000 just a few months ago. Hopefully expectations aren't too high for Jordan.

Hopefully expectations aren't too high for Jordan. I really am surprised no one took a gamble on him. I don't think he's a starter either but like others have said, being left handed, having a bit of pop and decent speed and from all accounts being a plus, plus defender, he is an ideal 4th OF, especially in the NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been great to see him finish the year in AAA over .300, etc. He may have even had trade value. This might have been true if he were 23 or 24. At his age, he may as well be up in the majors and being serviceable as a 4th outfielder/pinch runner, etc. I don't think any one projects him as any more than that. I'm sure he's not complaining, he's finally arrived. Here's hoping we've seen the last of Fukodome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Officially official now Chicago White Sox @whitesox #WhiteSox have placed outfielder Kosuke Fukudome on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to June 4) with a strained right oblique. In a corresponding move, the #WhiteSox have purchased the contract of outfielder Jordan Danks from Class AAA Charlotte. Danks, the younger brother of #WhiteSox pitcher John Danks, is hitting .302 w/ 15 doubles, 8 HR & 28 RBI in 57 games with Charlotte. Danks, who will wear uniform No. 20, has no major-league experience. Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Jordan Danks is considered the best defensive outfielder in the organization, not just Minors. Teammates raved about Jordan's defense With Viciedo, Rios and De Aza hitting, Jordan will be more of a defensive replacement/pinch-runner. But he has improved with the bat Fukudome couldn't really do anything baseball-related since the injury suffered in Sunday's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
