And now a sb on danks

So tired of this team's effort early

They come out with the attitude oh well every game.

Down after 1 inning shocking.

To be fair to Danks, it's a problem with most everyone. I guess that should be on the coaching staff.

Reflection of the manager.

How much longer do we have to watch Danks

I agree they know under RV they are not accountable for s***.

Team has so many guys that need to go.

"When the White Sox Score 5"

 

Does it have to be in one game?

 

Espn announcers are laughing at how bad the Sox hitters are with Alexei being one of the hottest hitters on the team and he is like 2 for his last 22

I want to see our scouting reports on pitchers and how our hitters gameplan every game

It has been changed to a week.

How much longer do we have to watch Danks

It's not like we have a former top prospect who is dominating AAA once again and appears to be ready for another big league opportunity.

if the sox actually care about winning, they'd put danks on the 60 day and just let him collect dust for the rest of the year

Just to say again...the MLBPA would never allow this.

As I said yesterday...give him time down there. Some of the things we have heard suggest that a big part of his struggles last year were mental-driven, so giving him time to fully have his confidence together is not a bad thing.

 

It's not like EJ is going to "Save this season".

Sanchez up to .155...nice

Haven't seen many hits to LF from Avi

Just to say again...the MLBPA would never allow this.

Honestly, just throw his ass in the bullpen. See if he gains a couple MPH on his fastball if used in short stints. If not, then you simply DFA him and eat the money. At this point, we have to accept the fact other teams will not view him as a major league starter. No reason to keep trotting him out there every 5 days when a better internal option is available IMO.

This team has some really easy outs vs LHP

He gets paid either way. That is all Danks cares about anyway.

I have no major issue with that, but note that we don't need to be rushing with EJ and suggest being patient with him is a particularly good idea.

Adam! Nice hit

It's not about saving the season, it's about having an extended look at him against major league hitters. We need to know what we have in him and the larger the sample the more confident we'll feel.

 

We're clearly going to have to move some pitching this offseason to fix our offense, whether it's a major league piece or prospects, and I know I'd feel a lot better about moving pitching if I felt Johnson could hold the #4 spot quite effectively.
