January 15, 201511 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jan 15, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) I say retire. Easy for a fan to say. For Danks, he's got major league experience, very good defense at all three OF positions and some pop in his bat (when he makes contact). If he enjoys playing, he has every reason to keep doing so, as someone will at least give him a AAA role with the potential for a later call-up.
January 15, 201511 yr he & Brian Anderson can get together, have a beer, and reminisce about what its like to be a light hitting defensive replacement.

He can play IF he wants, but there is nothing very good about Danks as a ball player that ship has sailed.
January 16, 201511 yr well then. Meghan Montemurro @M_Montemurro #Phillies have claimed OF Jordan Danks off waivers from the Chicago White Sox, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. announced today.

January 16, 201511 yr Let's get Amaro Jr drunk and then inform him that Jordan and John are a package deal. Good luck to Jordan. Edited January 16, 201511 yr by StRoostifer

January 17, 201511 yr One of the unexplained miracles of life on Earth is how R Amaro, Jr. keeps his job.
January 17, 201511 yr Jordan Danks played a useful role as a the 4th or 5th OF'er and have some good skills as a defender and some speed on the base paths plus every once in awhile he could hit a game winning bomb. Good luck Jordan
January 18, 201511 yr I wish he could have hit a little bit. He'd be a good 4th OF if he could. No reason for him to quit; he's perfect for AAA and will have more 4th OF opportunities in his future.
