harkness99 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Thought it might be cathartic for us let our feelings know about this guy. What meat ball tossing fraud... he had myself and many people fooled. If you look at his track history its not all that great. Wow did I have this guy wrong. Get the F*** out of dodge please.

fathom Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Absolutely disappointing...I also hate Cleveland and Boston for sucking so much vs the Sox at the end of July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 No worries. He's gone after this season. I think many of us have seen enough. I think we have already drafted his replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I hope they trade him before having to risk making him a qualifying offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 He's likely to recover to some extent, but while I normally see things pretty optimistically, I really hated the trade we made for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much he could recover from a 5.00 ERA this late in the year... and it's been going up and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll recover in the NL next year. I could totally see a situation where the Sox give him a QO, he declines and then no one signs him until May, when the Cubs give him a 1-year deal.

harkness99 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 at this point he is 44-55 with a 4.00 ERA in his career. That's not Ace material for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouts love the arm, someone will give up the pick for him a multi-year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Who would have thought six months ago the future would actually look brighter for John Danks than LaRoche, Shark and Tiger Woods? Well, at any rate, thanks Cubs fans for showing up to USCF so we can afford the next Bonifacio/Keppinger this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be huge doubts about his ability to pitch in the AL, and there are so many great pitchers available, it could get awkward for him.

Hopefully we get to see if Sale can get it done in meaningful September games at some point before we all start to receive circulars from AARP.

RockRaines Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Luckily the extension ship has sailed unless he begs back in some way. His agent made it pretty clear what his number was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no arm at the moment. His arm from a scouting perspective has a track record. No doubt he hasn't flashed the same stuff this year, but that isn't going to stop at least one GM from giving him a multi-year deal. This is the MLB, dumb contracts are signed every offseason.

He has pitched bigger games than Shark. Also, notice this game was not particularly big. It just stings a little more because of the opponent.

Dick Allen Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 He'll wind up in St.Louis and be good for 4 months. That is my call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
