He knows how to hit for average. He hit for a pretty good one in the minors this season, if you were paying attention.

2-4 today. Now at .292. Hope everyone is happy he's hitting for average now.

Ultimately, we don't know if he can hit for average or not, as the sample size has been too small. Which, again, is why I stated that I hope he learns to hit for average. Last edited by khan; 10-30-2008 at 11:35 AM. |

Here's hoping he can continue on this early trend. [Was that "judgemental," Grebeck?] Last edited by khan; 10-27-2008 at 09:22 AM. |

exactly - using AFL stats to draw conclusions is...well...unwise.

Gartrell separated his shoulder. Jordan Danks was added to the roster.

Danks had a monster game today going 4-4 with a HR, 3 RBIs, 2 R and a SB.
Beckham went 1-3 with a BB, an RBI, and 2 R. Armstrong went 1-5 with a HR. Last edited by Sockinchisox; 10-29-2008 at 05:50 PM. |

Behind Beckham, I'm mostly excited about Danks. Just cause it seems like he has a lot of upside, almost like a 5 tool player. I remember a couple years ago he was highly tauted. I know he's a good defender and is supposed to be good defensively and decent speed. Can he throw well? Hit for average? I would love for the sox to have a 5 tool player which they drafted.

http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/ar...quests-part-3/ Scroll down for Danks. John Sickels is a fan of him as well, as he believes he'll make the show, regardless of a power surge. Sickels is a pretty damn good judge of talent. |

Ellsbury is much smaller. He's not short, but Danks, at 6'5", dwarfs him. Statistically, they're an interesting comparison. In college Danks struck out quite a bit more, but also walked more. Ellsbury had an OBP somewhat inflated by HBP.
All in all, Danks has so much more projectable power than Ellsbury. |

My comp for Danks is reaching way back -- I say he's like Von Hayes.
I actually think some power will come which will make him a 5-tool player. Though I worry that he's going to have to make a lot of adjustments or he is going to strike out a lot.
