Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Lol tie. I like this given his history against Toronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thank you lord. EJ sent down I assume? I hope this is a long term move then. Sounds to me like it will be as long as Gonzalez is effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I don't know if Gonzales is the answer it would be a God-send if he was...but I do know that Danks ISN'T the answer and skipping him is worth the shot. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark He's pushed back to Baltimore. Ventura was asked if its his last start and said that's TBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 YES!!!!!! Hopefully Danks has started his last game as a member of the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I think he's out of options. That's why he got DFA'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was released and signed to a minors deal by Sox though, not claimed. Not sure he gets an option back, doubt it, just wanted to confirm.

Ducksnort Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I wonder if this mystery starter pitches at least decent giving the Sox a fighting chance tomorrow if they possibly consider moving Danks into a long-term bullpen role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconOnAStick Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Ventura is not going to start heaping dirt on a veteran player like Dank's grave, but its obvious that Danks is on the outs. I'm wondering why now. Danks was decent against the Angels in his last start and with the amount of money Danks is owed I figured they would give him at least another couple starts before making a move like this. Three possible reasons for this happening now: 1) last year of Danks deal, money is spent either way 2) the team looks good, cant afford to sacrifice games early in the season trying to wrestle some value out of Danks 3) Danks has admitted to coaches he's done and wont be upset if the Sox phase him out Edited April 24, 2016 by Alexeihyeess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he gets an option back, doubt it, just wanted to confirm. So let me get this straight. If Gonzalez bombs he can't be sent back down and it's either keep him on the Sox roster or put him on waivers again ? Logically then,if that is the case , he'll be getting a few more starts until it's determined he has use or is useless.

cabiness42 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 He's starting in Baltimore. Sounds like there is going to be a 6-man rotation at least one time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he bombs so bad he has to be let go he probably clears waivers anyway, so I wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about whether or not he has options.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Right handed power heavy line-up. Makes sense to get a righty in there against Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 24, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) True. I think it was RV who mentioned Danks got tagged vs. Toronto last year and went 7 scoreless against the O's. They showed his ERA against Toronto on post game I believe. Around 7 for his starts against Toronto. At least Gonzalez is familiar with them and has had some success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 So Danks and Avi are getting benched and skipped regularly? What about loyalty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Good to see the Sox are ready to do whatever it takes to win each game. Gonzalez makes much more sense if only for one start against the Jays. Will be interesting to see what the Sox do if Gonzalez pitches well against the Jays and Danks bombs against the O's. Not that I want Danks to bomb, but it's possible. I also think it's possible that if Gonzalez pitches well against the Jays he could take the Baltimore start away from Danks. Why not start Gonzalez against the O's, his former team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
