chitownsportsfan Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) Danks has decent velocity tonight too Probably over throwing. Hey, bases loaded, cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) A lot of guys have been defending Danks every s***ty start. He is a shell of his former self. Yeah this board voted 36-6 against trading Danks for Santiago. Lulz. Don't understand the love affair with Danks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand the love affair with Danks here. Sadly, his extension could very well end up being one of the worst deals in Sox history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I like Danks and all, he's a good guy who has pitched really well for us, but I'm obviously worried. I hope he can turn it around and I don't think it's impossible that he does - but there is no good trend to fall back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I was advocating taking ANYTHING from the Yankees, not playing hard ball. Get out from under this terrible contract for a pitcher who is just bad now.

ILMOU Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Game over. Danks can't be in next year's rotation. Things went south in a hurry. Have a good night, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Danks does not deserve a spot in the 2015 rotation only reason he will is his contract. Danks ability is just about at DFA level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out from under this terrible contract for a pitcher who is just bad now. Yea I was right there with ya. Nobody needed FIP (hi Dick) to tell you John Danks was gonna regress when you saw him throw 88 mph fastball up followed by 82 mph changeup up followed by looping breaking ball.

Nope, let him pitch until he lets up 10+ runs and then put him on the DL with Shoulder soreness at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien 1m Jim Hendry is scouting at White Sox game tonight. Asked him about Javier Baez. He gave all the credit to then-scouting director Tim Wilken. Hendry is a scout for the Yankees. Damn it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
