August 12, 201213 yr Author QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) Who is coming up for now? I'm guessing Donnie Veal, but maybe Brandon Kloess.
August 12, 201213 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) He'll be back in 3 weeks anyways, and the pen definitely needs some help. He should be back for sure in Sept. Maybe not a real bad thing for Danks if he can play every day and get the ABs, but it sucks all the same for Wise to get the nod over Danks. Thanks for the walkoff Friday night, Jordan!!!!!
August 12, 201213 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) Why is Hudson still on the team? Oh yeah, I forgot, he's a "clubhouse guy". Ironic because I think Jordan Danks is a good clubhouse guy (besides playing his butt off).
August 12, 201213 yr I don't mind Danks getting regular at-bats for a couple of weeks and then rejoining the team.
August 12, 201213 yr The legend of Jordan Danks fascinates me. He did hit it, but there are a lot of left handed hitters that would have hit the pitch he took deep very hard, probably even Dwayne Wise. This makes sense, The Sox need another lefty in the bullpen and Wise can do what Danks does. Danks gets some ABs and comes back in 20 days.

Danks can do what Wise does AND has been doing an admirable job doing what he does. I agree though with the logic here. Just complaining that it's Wise staying up in favor of Danks. Your statement, "He did hit it, but there are a lot of left handed hitters that would have hit the pitch he took deep very hard, probably even Dwayne Wise" ....really dumb, sorry.

Dumb is not looking at the facts. Wise career OPS .639 and close to .800 this season. Danks OPS after his homer, .621. Edited August 12, 201213 yr by Dick Allen

August 13, 201213 yr There is zero reason to send Jordan Danks down when Dewayne Wise is on the roster.
August 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) There is zero reason to send Jordan Danks down when Dewayne Wise is on the roster. DeWayne Wise being on the roster IS THE reason to send Jordan Danks down, they serve the same purpose.
August 13, 201213 yr The Catch be damned, I think D2 is a better fielder than Wise. The jumps that guy gets are amazing.
August 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 07:08 PM) DeWayne Wise being on the roster IS THE reason to send Jordan Danks down, they serve the same purpose. NOt really. Danks is better than Wise.
August 13, 201213 yr I guess the thing is is Jordan's arrow is pointing up....Wheezy's is down. If you can send Jordan down to get him everyday at bats for a few weeks I guess that's not a bad thing. He'll be up soon enough. If this was like a permanent roster spot I really don't see how you'd take Wise over Danks tho...
August 13, 201213 yr Another lefty in the bullpen is more important than our 4th outfielder right now. Both Thornton and Septimo are gas cans currently.

August 13, 201213 yr Supposedly, it's going to be Santiago. Think Veal might be the better choice....let Hector continue to start at CHAR, and we've got the long man (for now) in Humber over Axelrod.

If nothing else, Santiago's been pitching like he doesn't belong in AAA.
August 13, 201213 yr i hope it isnt Santiago. 2 outs, 2 walks, 2 runs isnt what im looking forward to
