Y2Jimmy0 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 14m If things go well for John Danks tonight in Buffalo, look for him to start Friday against the Marlins at home Merkin also mentioned that Robin and the staff discussed a 6 man rotation and it sounds unlikely. Merkin thinks that the rotation will be Peavy and the 4 lefties. What does this do to Axelrod? Does he become the long man with Omogrosso going back to Charlotte? Also, Beckham and Angel Sanchez should be back within a week as well. Who goes down or gets DFA'd to make room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we get a straight RL platoon at 3B with Keppinger and Gillaspie then do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy I hope not. I'd rather see Keppinger spell guys once in a while. He needs to be a high-priced utility guy, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Omogrosso goes down and Axelrod goes to the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Greene has been fine off the bench outside of a few errors, but with Beckham coming back, I doubt we see Greene there much, if at all.

Sanchez was Rule V, so he has to be sent back to previous team if he's not on our 25 man. Also plays SS, switch hits, and has more potential to become a starting caliber player (unlikely he does that, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also plays SS, switch hits, and has more potential to become a starting caliber player (unlikely he does that, though) He has to be offered back, but will they want him back, and if they do what really are the Sox losing? He is 29 years old, a little better tha Greene defensively, but Greene can at least hit LHP pretty well. Greene will probably go down so they have thwm both in case they need them, but losing either one most likely doesn't matter, and If I had to choose, I think Greene can help you more. If Greene were acquired before the rule 5 draft, I bet Sanchez would not have been selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If Sanchez actually becomes a starter, the only ones cheering will be those advocating for a higher first round draft pick in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Jon Heyman Baseball Insider Danks will make season debut Friday in Chicago May 21, 2013 12:19 pm ET White Sox lefthander John Danks is slated to make his comeback Friday with a start in Chicago against the Marlins, sources say. Danks' season debut comes 10 months after shoulder surgery. He's made four starts while rehabbing in the minors, one at Double-A Birmingham and three at Triple-A Charlotte. Danks' return comes at an important time for the White Sox, who are missing Gavin Flyd, who is out for the year with an elbow injury. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heym...iday-in-chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 If Danks makes 22 starts, with about 10-12 quality starts, and an ERA about 4.20, I'll look at that as a good season. And then hopefully better the rest of the contract. My expectations for him this season are very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keppinger has a career .328/.370/.478/.848 line against LHP in his career over about 800 plate appearances. There is no doubt who you play at 3B against LHP.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 QUOTE (Knuckles @ May 21, 2013 -> 09:38 AM) http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/jon-heym...iday-in-chicago Would hate to see Danks in the rotation at Axe's expense. Danks won't do any better. Let Danks pitch long relief and continue to build arm strength under the watchful eye of Coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would just have Danks keep rehabbing the arm until it is absolutely necessary to bring him up. Use a 6-man rotation if you have to. Skip guys when necessary. Keeping Danks away from starting in games is a bad thing, but the Sox (could potentially) have 6 good starters, and you should maximize that value. You won't get that with one of them in long relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems pretty unlikely that Danks will give you better numbers over the next month than anyone in the current rotation will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
