soxforlife05 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) If Miguel Gonzalez has a couple good starts in AAA while Danks has a couple more bad starts, that probably would be it. It would be nice if Buehrlle was secretly getting in shape and wanted to come back, but I highly doubt it. Couple more bad starts? I'll pass he's done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:07 PM) If Miguel Gonzalez (or Johnson) has a couple good starts in AAA while Danks has a couple more bad starts, that probably would be it. It would be nice if Buehrle was secretly getting in shape and wanted to come back, but I highly doubt it. They really can't run Danks out there again after this.

he gone. Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 You know who I really wanted the Sox to get this offseason? AJ Griffin. He signed a minor league contract with the Rangers. Either way. The way I look at it this #4/5 spot is going to be huge all year. Let's be honest, Latos has some stats that show he is going to have a regression. Yes he's been great, I just don't expect it to continue all year. And Danks is hot garbage. So what are the realistic options? In order: Johnson Gonzalez Turner Fulmer Trade? Out of all those names the only one who I think I'd have confidence in over Danks is Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 This game is far from over, but they have to decide if they want to burn the bullpen in attempting a comeback. With a chance of a rainout over the weekend I say do it. Sticking with Danks another couple innings is guaranteeing a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Danks was good when he was good, but at this point, Josh Johnson and Roy Oswalt have more recent two-bWAR seasons.— Dan Szymborski (@DSzymborski) April 29, 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 With the day off on Monday, by my very quick math we'd need the #5 to start Saturday May 7th. And then could probably fudge around until about the third week in May... Now, that's not ideal. I'd rather not work our pitchers that heavily cause of a Danks. But I think pushing back Danks to Baltimore was probably a plan because of the Monday off game where they could skip him. Either way, we know its a problem. Let's fix it.

If we have to watch the #5 struggle I want it to be with a young guy who might have a future with the team. Not a soon to be FA who is out of baseball next year.

Rowand44 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I feel like I was willing to give Danks as much rope as anyone but it's time to move on now. I still think EJ can be an ok 5th starter but the Sox definitely don't think that's the case so I have no clue what the best option is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when he was good and probably let loyalty cloud things just a bit. I feel sport for Danks as I know no one wants to be good out there for the team more than he does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
