justBLAZE Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 08:48 PM) How long is Konerko out for? I'd much rather see Danks up. I rather see Danks up too, who knows maybe it will have some good psychological effect on the big brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PK supposed to be back tomorrow, but Johnson gives you more versatility when the Sox play at NL parks now that Escobar can also play LF. I don't see the point in promoting Danks for 2 weeks only to send him back down after only a few ABs at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) The Score said that Fukudome is almost guaranteed to be placed on the DL in the next 24 hours. It's a rib issue. Dan Johnson should get the call up so we don't have to start Lillibridge/Flowers at 1b against a RHP. Why can't Dunn start at 1b? He's not there today because of the flu issues I'd gather, and the body can recover from that fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given the lack of DH, I can't see Danks getting any starts in the next two weeks. In an NL park, wouldn't Danks be more valuable. Plays plus defense anywhere in the outfield and can pinch run. Johnson can pretty much play 1st and he isn't a great baserunner. I really don't get it. This is obviously more about the Sox going with a guy that has big league experience. Unless of course they think Danks has finally got it and they want him to continue to get AB's (vs. bringing him up for a bench role). However at this point, odds are he's going to have to come off the bench and earn more ab's (he won't be handed a starting job). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have Lillibridge/Escobar to pr and play outfield, I think it's important to get an another 1b on the roster in case Konerko has a setback. If PK is completely healthy as of tomorrow, then by all means, let it be Danks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see much value in carrying 3 actual 1st baseman on your roster. Plus Flowers can play there as well. Unless of course they can all rake, but I really don't think Dan Johnson is that type of guy (but maybe I'm wrong and he's figured things out).

Wouldn't we have to pass Dan Johnson through waivers when we send him back down eventually? I know it's not the end of world if he gets claimed, but I'd rather not sacrafice the left-handed insurance he provides just in case something more serious happens.

southsider2k5 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Colby Rasmus is a f***ing idiot. I am happier and happier we didn't end up with him. Yeah Colby, Will Ohman is throwing at you 0-2, with the guy who just hit one to the Dan Ryan up behind you? Seriously? Nice burn though by Will. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/13022883-57...get-chirpy.html White Sox reliever Will Ohman was stunned by Colby Rasmus’ reaction to getting hit by a pitch in the Toronto Blue Jays’ 4-0 victory against the White Sox on Wednesday night. Rasmus, who had clubbed the Sox for five hits Tuesday before adding an RBI single for the Jays’ first run Wednesday, threw his bat down after Ohman hit him with an 0-2 pitch in the seventh. He had words for Ohman, who reacted by pointing to his head and mouthing “0-and-2.’’ “He must be a student of the game,’’ Ohman said. “If he’s learned that in his first four years, I dare say I’m interested to see what he learns in his next four.’’ The Sox have jawed with the Jays before. Last season in Toronto, left-hander John Danks gave Jose Bautista the business for carrying on and slamming his bat after popping up. Bautista gave it back. In this case, the last thing the left-handed Ohman — who was brought in by manager Robin Ventura to face the left-handed hitting Rasmus — wanted was to load the bases for Bautista. Reliever Jesse Crain struck out Bautista to keep the score 2-0, but with no answer for Jays starter Brandon Morrow, none of the Ohman-Rasmus drama mattered in the end anyway.

flavum Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 If rotations hold, and Danks returns on the 17th, here is what our interleague play looks like: Houston-- Rodriguez vs Floyd Lyles vs Sale Harrell vs Humber St. Louis-- Quintana vs Lynn Peavy vs Wainwright Floyd vs Westbrook Dodgers-- Sale vs Kershaw Humber vs Billingsley Danks vs Capuano Cubs-- Garza vs Peavy Wood vs Floyd Samardzija vs Sale Brewers-- Gallardo vs Humber Greinke vs Danks Wolf vs Peavy 9-6 would be very good.
