November 28, 201411 yr Minor league deal, I assume? Seems like they're doing everything they can to squeeze Jordan Danks out.
November 28, 201411 yr Probably a minor league deal with a spring training invite. It's in the minor league section.
November 28, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) I would guess between this and the move for JB Shuck, Danks won't be back. I think whoever of the 3 performs best in ST gets the 4th OF job. I'd still favor Danks though. Campaign can only run and his defense is eh, and he has a noodle arm. Shuck I don't know much about. Banks can play all 3 OF positions above average. Edited November 28, 201411 yr by SoxPride18
November 28, 201411 yr I would guess between this and the move for JB Shuck, Danks won't be back. I believe Danks has an option left, so he can be sent to AAA if he does not win the 4th OF job.

I know you are correct, but it does seem like Danks should have been out of options years ago. Campana is minor league fodder. It isn't for Chicago.

He could, but at this point it might be that time to move on for everyone involved. 28. Not that good. 5 years in Charlotte. If he's going to be a journeyman, it's about that time to move along.

Losing Jordan Danks isn't going to matter, but neither is Shuck or Campana. They suck just as much.

Losing Jordan Danks isn't going to matter, but neither is Shuck or Campana. They suck just as much. I agree, but that's just the way it is. Bench players and run of the mill bullpen arms bounce around. Danks hasn't bounced yet, but it's probably mostly because his name is Danks.

Danks hasn't bounced yet, but it's probably mostly because his name is Danks. They do have time and money invested in him. Maybe he will be a trade throw in. I just doubt these guys were brought in to replace him or battle for a job, because frankly, it isn't even an upgrade. If any of them are getting much playing time with the White Sox, either a lot of people got hurt or it is garbage time.
November 28, 201411 yr So who are the likely outfielder candidates at charlotte? Trayce, Mitchell, anyone else? Because the Sox do seem to owe Charlotte a better roster next year.

Because the Sox do seem to owe Charlotte a better roster next year. Josh Richmond will be in the mix. Also, not sure if Christian Marrero has been (or will be) re-signed, though he's more 1B/DH than OF at this point. Likely it is Thompson, Mitchell (if he's not gone in the Rule V), Richmond, and one or two of the Danks-Campana-Shuck group pointing at 3-4 OF spots in Charlotte.
November 28, 201411 yr That's hilarious Danks still has an option left. I know it's one a year but yeah agreed with DA, I can't believe it. I want Danks on the team if these are the options for the 4th OFer spot. He can be elite in CFer. He can't provide a bat but none of these guys can.
November 28, 201411 yr White Sox sign Tony Campana to minor league deal http://www.chicagonow.com/white-sox-drawer...ts-free-agency/
November 28, 201411 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 12:56 PM) YES! Agreed. His name alone makes this the best signing of the offseason by far.

November 28, 201411 yr Love it for a minor league deal. Speedy lefty with a solid glove. You can't have too many of those. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 03:02 PM) Agreed. His name alone makes this the best signing of the offseason by far. Too bad he's not Cuban and that's not a Cuban name.
November 29, 201411 yr QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 28, 2014 -> 08:54 PM) Is this guy the 2015 Brent Lillibridge?? As in a guy who isn't going to be playing in the majors in 2015? Yes.
November 29, 201411 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 29, 2014 -> 10:04 AM) this is a head scratcher. i think it must be a minor league move. It is.
