JorDanks....what a stud

 

He needs to show more power in my opinion. If he doesn't he'll just be another Ryan Sweeney.

My guess is that it is so he can focus solely on hit hitting which by all accounts is his weakest tool.

 

Yeah, but I don't think he's played outfield literally at all since he was drafted. I know he hasn't this year, and he only played about two weeks worth of games last season.

they may be similiar style players, but Danks has hit for a higher average, gotten on base at a higher clip, has slugged more, is more likely to stay at CF long term, is a significantly better % base stealer

 

granted sweeney was younger he was at AA, danks's minor league numbers so far are significantly better than any one year Ryan Sweeney had in the minors....the only one big advantage that sweeney has is contact rate

Sweeney was really never considered to be a CF. He was a good RF because of a gun, but he never moved well enough to be a CF. Danks on the other hand can be a GG CF which automatically makes the need for offense less important. But he has that tool anyway. Danks pretty much owns Sweeney in all aspects except an arm.

His hamstring has been absolutely miserable. It makes sense. Good to see Danks and Q back in the swings of things.
