Feeky Magee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) He's just not that good. We are stuck with $33 mil for a fifth starter for the next 2 years folks. According to many on this here website, full salary relief would not be enough for Danks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Stupid, stupid, stupid. Danks has to be able to throw that curveball he USED to have for K's. Otherwise, the batters just sit on the fastball and foul off them while waiting for a change-up because there's not enough velocity differential between both pitches. The only pitch that's a dramatic enough difference to get a no-contact swing is the curve. Edited July 31, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) I like it. That's a .352/.414/.506 hitter this year. (I feel like my math has to be wrong somewhere) LOL. Are you adding their numbers together? Gordon Beckham sucks. If there's a platoon, it should be with Marcus Semien and Conor...and then a real MLB starting 2B. Edited July 31, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea for the rest of the year if they can't unload him....Next year though? No thanks Edited July 31, 2014 by scs787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea for the rest of the year if they can't unload him....Next year though? No thanks WHY? Conor Gillaspie's one of the top 5-10 hitters in the AL playing without a platoon partner. If there's any time to see how well he does against LHP and whether he can be an everyday player, it's the last two months of 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Before this day is over he might have an ERA 3.00 points higher and a BAA against .100 points higher in day games vs night games. Needs to lay off the whiskey before day games. Edited July 31, 2014 by scs787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
