January 8, 201511 yr Seems like a terrible choice given he can contribute this year and the other names on the roster.
January 8, 201511 yr Hopefully this also means the plan to cut ties with Johnny boy is on the horizon.
January 8, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) So Viciedo is definitely staying with the team then I really doubt it. thanks, Dick.
January 8, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) So Viciedo is definitely staying with the team then Jordan Danks getting DFA'd and Dayan Viciedo remaining on the roster are not mutually exclusive events.
January 8, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) So Viciedo is definitely staying with the team then Not true at all. Could keep Bonifacio to backup in CF and Shuck to play an OF corner. Or even sign someone else. Viciedo will be gone.
January 8, 201511 yr If John Danks and Jordan Danks weren't brothers, no one would give a s*** he was just designated for assignment. But... BJ Suck is still on the 40-man roster, so its a headscratcher. Thanks, Charlie Haeger's Knuckles

But... BJ Suck is still on the 40-man roster, so its a headscratcher. Thanks, Charlie Haeger's Knuckles That's not true, I don't think anyone at this point gives a damn that they're brothers. Jordan is a very good defensive of who can't hit so there are some people who wanted him to stay and some people who wanted him gone. He's certainly not irrelevant.

January 8, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) I really doubt it. thanks, Dick. still making me laugh Edited January 8, 201511 yr by The Ginger Kid
January 8, 201511 yr Campana I feel can win a job with a good spring as the 5th outfielder (Bonifacio as the primary back up/platoon 3B) with another right handed hitting backup infielder) incase Bonifacio has to start some games in the outfield against lefties.
January 8, 201511 yr as some have posted already, this is headscratcher. there are others who i can see go. he still provide a nice backup option at all 3 outfield positions. interesting move.
January 8, 201511 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 02:56 PM) Don't get why you DFA Danks before Wilkins. Because Andy Wilkins is a better hitter than Jordan Danks.
January 8, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) Ultimately, it's Jordan Danks. Who cares. thanks, Dick. Thank you, Dick
January 8, 201511 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 04:43 PM) Weird Yeah, I'm surprised as well. I wouldn't think you can have Bonifacio as the only bench guy who can play CF as he presumably is covering a bunch of other positions, and Eaton's a good candidate to get banged up and miss 3 games in a row here and there. And with potential butchers Garcia and Cabrera out there, 'excellent defensive outfielder' is even more valuable. JB Shuck has only played a few CF games in his career and it'd be surprising to assume he could do it without watching him in spring training. My first guesstimate is that there's another move(s) coming that involve bench/OF.

January 8, 201511 yr Because Andy Wilkins is a better hitter than Jordan Danks. When Andy Wilkins is a 1B and Jordan Danks is a CF, you need a better reason than that.
