QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:16 AM) wow ramirez, that was a willie mayes hayes esque bat flip for a ball that didn't even mack the warning track. He's hit 4 homers in his career I believe to the right of dead center field. Reminds me of Alex Rios and Crede.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:11 AM) Who keeps track of that stuff? There's something weird going on with Davidson. Maybe whatever it is will never change and he won't hit well again. But there's no way you can say that a guy who did what he did last year and the years before that can be reasonably expected to hit like he has this year. Something has changed - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, I don't know - but he hasn't been the guy we traded for. That's what I'm saying...you don't hear very often about guys bottoming out in the minors, and then being able to rebound and still have a good big league career.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 02:04 AM) Too bad we have to play Eddie Gaedel every once in awhile or maybe we'd be making a push back in it. He's hit into a lot of DP lately for someone with his speed. Hopefully Sanchez is in his role next year.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:59 AM) Relax. One bad year. Question I've been meaning to ask....who's the last top 100 prospect or so that had such a horrible season that was able to rebound the have a successful MLB career?

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:54 AM) Wilkins continues to rake in August. And Davidson still can't hit. It goes to show you how bad he is when a bad MLB hitter like Danks is hitting .275

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 12:54 AM) I would never go back if Danks is the starter that day. What if you want to catch a HR in the outfield stands?

Any chance he can be on the Biogenesis list and the Sox try to void his contract?

Danks about to take over from Noesi for the worst ERA in the AL for qualified starters.

Wow, time for a "DL" trip for Danks? This is a horrible effort by him.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 12:49 AM) Yeah this board voted 36-6 against trading Danks for Santiago. Lulz. Don't understand the love affair with Danks here. Sadly, his extension could very well end up being one of the worst deals in Sox history.

Danks has decent velocity tonight too

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:43 AM) I fell for the mirage. If he keeps this up, he's not even a #5 on a good team. I'm pretty sure the Cubs wouldn't do it, but I think I would approve of a Danks for Edwin Jackson trade.

Goodness Danks, feel free to pitch down in the zone.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 03:50 PM) Baez is one year older than Courtney Hawkins. If Hawkins were putting up the same numbers in AAA next year, this board would want to see him in Chicago. Besides, if Baez is going to be a bust, who cares about super 2 status? Baez actually hits a ton of home runs. Hawkins, for all of his power, hasn't seen his HR total explode the last two years.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 12:29 AM) Abreu let several mistakes go in that AB Last couple of games, he's been fouling off some meatballs that he had been hitting over the fence before the ASB. Thankfully, he's stopped chasing the slider low and away for the most part.

Colby's fastball looks extremely hittable

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 12:28 AM) Danks mechanics haven't been right for a while now. He can't keep the ball down, and doesn't have enough stuff to pitch up anymore. He has to finish on his pitches better than he is now. The biggest issue his entire career has been lack of consistency in his mechanics.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:23 AM) He's a liability for next year? Geez, tell me someting I don't know! He was fine the first half of the year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:18 AM) Lol, this wasn't the case before today? At the ASB, I would have said I have no problem with him being a back end starter next year. If he puts up a 5 ERA this year, I would be worried about him being a huge liability going forward.

More importantly, he's becoming a huge question mark for next year now.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 01:14 AM) Lord we're stuck with him for 2 more years. I really hope Hahn wasn't stubborn asking for players back if a team was willing to take on a large part of that contract.

Danks really struggling since the ASB. He has been getting hit hard.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 06:51 PM) White Sox players have been pretty unharmed in all of this stuff over the years As long as it's not Sale, Abreu, PK, Quintana or Buehrle, it wouldn't really bug me.

sounds like it's more than 2 additional players

Wow, he looks like a totally different hitter. Nice going Flowers!
