Dick Allen Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think the John Danks sucks argument, look at his peripherals is a bit shortsided. He is obviously not what he was, however, you take away the 3 or 4 games he just gets tagged, he is still really effective. I would trade him, but I don't think he's the trash he is being portrayed to be. There should be some value in putting up a less than 3.00 ERA in over 80% of your starts.

Disagree, maybe if anything send some money their way but the Yankees have 4 legit catching prospects and it could all depend on who they value more. So maybe they value Murphy the least and Hahn can get him for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus not a prospect. the are 4 cats in the yanks systems whether in the majors or minors. Francisco Cervelli 28, John Ryan Murphy 23, Gary Sanchez 21, Peter O'Brien 24, Luis Torrens 18, the reason I included F. Cervelli, is he can start and be a cat now for several more yrs until some of the prospect who may develop into something better. Same as JR Murphy which I like a lot. another cat which caught my interest is P O'Brien, he started in the in teens in the top 20 to what #9. he is playing in the future games for the yanks. the yanks may have one of the better systems for catchers. I wonder if it is prospect or prospects that the sox are looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I would be ok with either JR Murphy OR Sanchez. Isn't Sanchez the Yanks top prospect? Is that even a possibility for a Danks deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man,wasn't trying to be vague. Here's a more recent scouting report. I think his youth and the possibility of sticking at catcher is what's so intriguing. http://www.scoutingbook.com/players/p2946 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would take a crap load to get Sanchez. JR Murphy seems to fit Hahn's desired age group (ages 23-27) and he is also MLB ready. With Rodon likely entering the rotation next year and given this chance to shed that salary- this would be the perfect trade for the Sox.

greg775 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) The White Sox team ERA is 4.13 and their team FIP is 4.09. John Danks is at 4.40 and 4.63. Thus, John Danks is actually making the White Sox "pathetic" pitching staff even more "pathetic." Seriously greg, think before you speak. Maybe do some research. I understand that you may have some emotional attachment to John Danks, but he's not that good of a pitcher anymore. If the Sox get prospects, meaning the plural form of the word prospect, then they've already won. I've been citing quality starts regarding Danks. Isn't he kicking butt in quality starts? It's not like he's been Axelrod-esque or Carroll-esque in terms of stuff, either. The guy takes the mound and you can be assured a quality start (f*** I've jinxed his next start with this, though).

LDF Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 12:57 AM) O'Brien no longer catches. His defense was always extremely questionable and the Yanks appear to have given it up and moved him to first. actually he does several positions. I read up on him yesterday and it was mention, he still catches several times a week. he is learning 1b and outfield, I am wondering why? the question I came away from, from reading the articles is why keep moving him? he has a strong bat, already hitting 31 hrs I think.
