I think the argument is if you think Danks was overpaid before the injury, really.

 

I agree with Jake, the real Danks will probably be the one that pitches next year, after normal offseason workouts and whatnot.

What has impressed me most about Josh so far is his ability to make intra-game adjustments at the plate. Sometimes, he makes intra-at-bat adjustments.

No it isn't. It's about having him suffer a major injury after signing the contract and having the team suck now.

 

If you knew those to things were going to happen, would you have given him that contract?

It's so cute when Alexei and Alex try to hit it out to the right of center field.

Ha, I know what point I'm trying to make, but I can't figure out how to articulate it. I guess I don't think we'll know what we've got in Danks til next year at this time.

Anyone just see the Hudson injury? Awful

Legs aren't supposed to do that.

 

Braves in the Peavy chase now? Hmm

No, what happened?

Stoney and Hawk hinting that White Sox and Rangers possibly making a deal?

If we were good, or had a real shortage of pitching, or John at his best had a chance to really outperform the contract by a lot, I'd have no problem holding on to him. But this is like gambling $100 on the Bears -3 for the very outside chance of winning $125, when someone is offering to give you your $100 back after the Packers go up 14-0.

EY Jr. stepped on the back of his leg, looks like Hudson's ankle just snapped.

Oh, I'd be in favor of letting him go for very cheap.

(Of course the problem with that is they backloaded the contract and only paid him $6 million last year. It's just feel a bit better if he only was owed $12 million next year.)

Didn't people say the Braves weren't really heavy on high ceiling guys right now?

Rios

 

I know they're interested in Rios and ADA, but they seemed to be implying it's more than "possible"

They're not at all. Disappointing year for their farm system.

Wow, Danks is a mess :(

Death by homers and death by chopped singles all in one game

It wasn't really backloaded per se. It was the second to last year of arb eligibility for him.

Don't watch the Hudson video

IIrC it was less than he'd have gotten that year without the contract.

So were Hawk and Stone suggesting that a deal with Rios could go down tonight or tomorrow?
