The Sox aren't stupid. Danks was already walking a tight rope with his diminished stuff and average-at-best command. Now that his stuff has further diminished, there's really no hope for success. Unless the velocity comes back and comes back soon, the Sox will make a change in the near future. At bare minimum, they'll put him on the DL and give some of the AAA guys an opportunity. Also, Robin is saying all the things a good manager should say when it comes to a high-character, long-tenured veteran. Ripping a guy like Danks to the media wouldn't go over well in the clubhouse. It's up to Rick & KW to play bad cop and make a change.
