Soxfest Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) Yep, his performance since signing the extension has been horrendous. I am afraid he is damaged goods and untradeable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilkins hardly walks at all, he's going to have to hit like 270-280 to have any value. Not gonna happen IMO.

whitesoxfan99 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) Yep, his performance since signing the extension has been horrendous. Terrible luck for the White Sox on that one. Can't fault them to signing a really good, young pitcher who had no history of injuries to a market/below market deal.

caulfield12 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 06:26 PM) Make him the BP pitcher, that should give the SOx a lot of confidence heading into the games. See Barry Zito or Tim Lincecum, although I have ZERO confidence Danks will throw a no-hitter at any point the rest of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) anybody need any laundry dried? Like, maybe you own a small country? Because that's how much rope has been laid out against Danks so far. good god the Twins announcers DO THEY DO ANY RESEARCH? John Danks had a f***ing major surgery you idiots he hasn't been the same since. He's not "that type of pitcher" anymore. He sucks!

2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) John Danls appears to be the Adam Dunn of pitching (I profiled awhile ago about how Dunn hits good pitching).....Looking at his game logs he does well against good teams but is garbage against awful teams like the Twins, Astros, and Rangers. To elaborate, in 43.1 innings against sub .500 teams he has an 11.01 era In 121.2 innings against teams above .500 he has an era of 2.88. Baseball is such a fun game.

I would not cry if Viciedo is traded this off season but what I think is the Sox are hoping Abreu can be a positive influence on Tank and he finally develops into a consistent hitter and contributes to a winning season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Not really sure why Lindstrom's getting innings right now. Still shocked they didn't unload him for a bag of baseballs on 8/31. Danks ERA up to 5.12. It would be great if they can unload him this offseason and pay maybe half his remaining salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dumping Belisario or Lindstrom makes no sense at all. Guerra should always be pitching in the 8th to show he if he can still get it done (or not). Also, Gillaspie has REALLY been fading down the stretch. Edited September 4, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/pitching/_/co...rue/order/false Danks currently at 93rd out of 96 qualified in ERA. Only ahead of Buchholz, Colby Lewis, and....you guessed it, Edwin Jackson. Edited September 4, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
