Soxfest Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 01:24 PM) LOL, where is that guy that was saying Danks is a solid 3rd starter? Regression, thy name is John Danks. One of the worst starters in baseball this year. Danks is a 5th starter at this point. I am sick of the defenders.

Feeky Magee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Makes me sad thinking of how players like Hammel wait until after getting traded to s*** the bed but our schmucks unload their logs all over the linen right at the worst possible time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, he's a 5th starter getting paid like a 3. Kinda stinks he didn't get moved today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Beckham leads the league in shallow flyouts that just avoid being defined as pop-ups. He also leads the league in pop-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox like to lock up young pitching before it hits the market. I remember them trying to lock him down years before he signed the 5/65 deal. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes it doesn't. If Danks doesn't have the surgery, I think this contract is a bargain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish the silly wishcasting about how he's magically going to go back to being that solid 3rd starter he was pre-injury can finally be put to bed. In like 200 post surgery innings nothing stands out except "5th starter stuff and results". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It could be worse, the Sox could have Smyly. He's getting pummeled by a line up with Leury Garcia, Beckham, Flowers, Sierra and a mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
