John Danks

[NievesNoNO]

John Danks is stuggling to start the season, but has a solid track record the past few seasons. I've seen rumors that he might be pitching himself out of a starting role. Not sure if that's true, but if it is would the Sox be willing to part with him with anyting that we might have? I'd love to put him in the 5 spot in the rotation and shift Narveson to the bullpen. Seems like something that's really not likely to happen, but with the poor start for the Sox, Danks struggles, Guillen as manager, and a GM who has a history of being more than willing pull the trigger on a deal it might be worth looking into.

Anyone else think this is a possibility?

I really don't. Even if the Sox start taking offers for him other teams will have more to offer than the Brewers. The Brewers already did their "buying" this offseason, I just don't think they can afford another hit to the Power 50.

Plus, I have to think the Sox will exercise patience with him, he's been consistently solid for them for 3 seasons.

I would think that the White Sox will let Danks pitch through his struggles. He has too much of a track record for the Sox to trade him away at this point when is value is probably as low as it's going to be.

Sox have two FA to be in their rotation, Buehrle and Edwin Jackson. They are going to need Danks next year even though they will have to pay somewhat of a premium in his final arby year.

 

Now Buehrle and or Jackson just might be available at the deadline and either might make sense for the Brewers if they have a need at that time.

bringing in Danks just seems like a trade for trade's sake. i don't see what he could bring that Narveson doesn't already, and we're not desperate for bullpen relief.
