ShandyMan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I highly disagree with your take on Danks. He has an par bat with plus speed and defense... Wise is AWFUL with the bat and shaky in the outfield minus a couple spectacular plays. Danks is not going anywhere, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 12:13 PM) Ya, I don't quite people hating on Danks. Danks has been an effective bench player. Flowers is an effective back-up. The problem with the White Sox is outside of those 2 guys, the rest of there bench players are absolutely awful. He is?

Chicago White Sox Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 06:00 PM) He is? At this point in the season he is because he can handle the pitching staff well. Long-term he doesn't seem like a great option IMO. He seems like the type of player that needs consistent at-bats to be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a good approach at the plate and he has the talent, he is improving with each and every year. Did he change your opinion at all after tonight? Thanks for the walk-off! jordo! He is at least replacement level, and for a bench player that is great. I argue he may have the talent to start in a couple years.

I was happy with the walkoff, congratulate him on his first career homer, and the unreal timing of it, but he's still a subpar bat. He's actually about a month older than Gordon Beckham.

wagner10 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Did I read Aviles on waivers. Perfect player for the sox to get. decent bat, can play middle infield and 3rd then you keep Wise and JorDanks up. Send Rey down and tell Odawg sorry man you just are not the guy you used to be. Tflow should have been moved 1-2 years ago when he still had a little worth, but he is a cheap back up make 483,000. I mean IMO he calls a pretty good game behind the plate and plays D pretty well. Hitting wise I would say way below who we thought he would be. What happens if we dont resign AJ. Is TFlow going into spring training the #1 catcher?

Is Boston actually going to let him go for nothing or do you have to pay for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner10 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Looks like we would either recieve him (plus his contract), Give them someone in return or they could pull him back making him unavailable for the rest of the offseason to be traded. This is if he gets to us on waivers. He is only making 1.2 mil this year so its not to much and Im sure we wouldnt have to pay the entire 1.2 mil. I would love to see him picked up by us. One of few Royals players I actually did not mind back in the day when he played there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
