Tigers vs. White Sox 7/24/2013


Recommended Posts

I think the argument is if you think Danks was overpaid before the injury, really.

 

I agree with Jake, the real Danks will probably be the one that pitches next year, after normal offseason workouts and whatnot.

No it isn't. It's about having him suffer a major injury after signing the contract and having the team suck now.

 

If you knew those to things were going to happen, would you have given him that contract?

Ha, I know what point I'm trying to make, but I can't figure out how to articulate it. I guess I don't think we'll know what we've got in Danks til next year at this time.

If we were good, or had a real shortage of pitching, or John at his best had a chance to really outperform the contract by a lot, I'd have no problem holding on to him. But this is like gambling $100 on the Bears -3 for the very outside chance of winning $125, when someone is offering to give you your $100 back after the Packers go up 14-0.

Oh, I'd be in favor of letting him go for very cheap.

(Of course the problem with that is they backloaded the contract and only paid him $6 million last year. It's just feel a bit better if he only was owed $12 million next year.)

It wasn't really backloaded per se. It was the second to last year of arb eligibility for him.
