elrockinMT Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Do you think after Jackson getting traded the team would keep its starters intact now? Especially if we are still "all in" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The only way you move Danks is if you can dump Dunn or Rios on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:10 PM) Do you think after Jackson getting traded the team would keep its starters intact now? Especially if we are still "all in" I think it depends on the offer. John Danks would be by far the best pitcher, and probably the best player on the market this year. If someone offered you a similar level deal to what the M's got for Lee, wouldn't you almost have to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) If the Sox want to move Danks, they won't move him now, unless of course we get swept or the team goes into full sell mode. I expect the Sox to continue to retool in the off-season and part of that retooling will likely involving making one last offer to Danks and if he doesn't accept, will involve moving him to another team. Â I agree with this. They know his value will be a lot higher in February than in July and if he doesn't agree to an extension then he won't later. They'd be foolish not to trade him if that were the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Danks value will be lower in February, as it stands the team who gets him has 1.5 years of control, a February trade makes him a one season rental add to that the other pitchers that will be on the market/free agents this winter and Danks' value now is as high as it will ever be.

chisoxfan09 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Honestly I wouldn't put it past KW to try and peddle off Rios with either Danks or CQ. It is probably the only way teams will even listen, but we gotta lower the demand and eat some salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably the only way teams will even listen, but we gotta lower the demand and eat some salary. Even if we have to cut back to $100 million next year, I'd still say we're better off taking the talent and keeping the poorly performing guys. We've got a $100 million salary, if we've got a ton of young talent, we can eat that as an expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 That would be pretty wild if Danks got traded to the Yankees and he faced the Sox next Tuesday at the Cell. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon_44 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) They just need to re-sign Danks and be done with it. When is the last time the Yankees traded a prospect who was any good? Their farm team used to be here in Columbus and their minor league players are always vastly overrated. I remember when Kevin Maas was the 2nd coming of Lou Gehrig and don't forget about the greatest power hitter since Babe Ruth, Steve Baboni.

Don't think it was an order to sell. More like an order not to add so if KW loses more payroll he could probably keep it in the $120/125 mill this year. KW might have one more move up his sleeve but I think it would involve bigger names. Viciedo being hurt right now kind of throws a monkey wrench into trading CQ. But I truly think either him or Thorton will be gone shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'd trade Danks for a pile of prospects and a fill-in SP in a second. Â Buehrle - Peavy - Floyd - Humber is a good enough rotation in a 5 or 7 game playoff series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
