Brian Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Good load for a pitcher who was awful all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) How do the prospects compare to Avi? Escobar was 56 in Baseball America's preseason top 100. So better by the single, limited metric. He's struggled this year but that's as a 22 year old pitcher in the PCL. Quite the return for Peavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peavy's been worse than pretty much every regular starter on the Sox this year and they got a lot for him. Not to mention he's owed like $6 million for the rest of the year. This makes me like our chance of getting rid of Danks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I wouldn't be too quick in thinking Danks could bring the same or better in return. Danks contract and 30M+ owed through 2016 could viewed as an albatross if GM's are uncertain about Danks ability to sustain or improve upon this seasons numbers. If it were me, I honestly would not give up the same package for Danks. Danks 2015-16 is a gamble at this point. I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in at least one article that SF was particularly interested in the fact that he wasn't a salary commitment for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've been reading the same articles Balta. IMO, a 29 year old lefty with a 4.40 ERA that has yet to be traded could say something about how teams feel about having Danks through 2016 should they trade for him. Speculation on my part and hopefully I'm reading too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation on my part and hopefully I'm reading too much into it. I don't disagree to an extent but I would not read anything into the fact Danks has not been traded yet. Last year hahn waited till the last minute on Peavy and in the end it took a 3rd team to make it happen. I think Danks contract is a problem but Hahn may just be holding out for a better deal than what he has been offered................. Or he wants to keep Danks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my line of thinking is when I see potential suitors trading for other pitchers and it just makes me wonder. I really hope I'm just reading into nothing really.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 11:54 AM) How do the prospects compare to Avi? White Sox got a much better return for Peavy than the Red Sox. Which is how it should be given the extra year of his control we gave up, but it's nice to know Hahn made the right move.
