Dick Allen Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 7, 2014 -> 07:54 PM) He's hitting 90 and has off speed stuff. And he hasn't looked good either. So not an encouraging comparison. Funny you put such a premium on velocity considering your screen name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I like Nieto's swing.. I think he can be pretty good with some more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 7, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) Wood is throwing 88. I would take Wood at 3.9 million over Danks 14.25 million rest of year and twice on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You brought up the velocity, not me. Either way Mark Buehrle and John Danks should not be compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matters when Sox say they have expanded the payroll as far as it can go. 14.25 mil can be spent elsewhere. Who gives a s*** who's paying it. 10 games a year I go to I am paying some of it.

Chicago White Sox Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 7, 2014 -> 07:49 PM) He is fine. They have hit 1 ball hard. You don't have to throw 95 to be effective. Come on dude, even you have to admit it's a bit troubling that his FB has actually decreased from last year. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Bernstein was quoting numbers that Danks had the slowest fastball among all qualified starters. If this velocity is here to stay, then we're looking at a #4 caliber starter best case scenario, which is not what we're paying for. I was all for resigning him too, but anyone being objective has to be concerned with how he's looked so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
