Heads22 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 What has impressed me most about Josh so far is his ability to make intra-game adjustments at the plate. Sometimes, he makes intra-at-bat adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
