Would have liked to see a duck snort just behind the infield, but a seeing-eye single works as well.

Danks has looked good for a number of starts now this season. His changeup has more depth than I remember him having in previous years. I think this is a good time to try and deal him, obviously with us picking up a portion of his remaining contract.

Overcame poor bullpen management. Love it.

We would all have pulled Danks earlier. We also would have let Sierra hit. That's why we have WSI.

Serious question: which player will Danks fetch that will justify enlarging the hole in the starting rotation?

I don't have the confidence that Danks can continue this. I would like to sell high on him and get what we can, he is not a part of the future. Plus we have too many lefties. |

Does he bring more or less than Peavy? The other thing about Danks is his weakness is giving up the homer. To a team in a more pitchers' park, he has even more value. |

Probably less than Peavy due to his name recognition and being a former Cy Young winner. However, Danks is throwing better than Peavy was before he got traded.

I think it was the May 12 one-run loss in Oakland that ended with Garia striking out to end what the three run rally that fell short which left WSI collectively complaining that Garcia had no business hitting with the game on the line. Tonight he put together a good at bat to decide the game. |

I'm not concerned about what it leaves us with next year because a lot can happen between now and then via trades and free agency, and we have a lot of money to play with. Also Danks is not a sure thing to continue what he's been doing for most of this year. I fear that the league will catch on to the fact that half his pitches are off speed. |

Danks, Sale and Quintana pitched consecutively over the weekend against the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays. All three pitchers won. Was it an advantage for Toronto to face three lefties in a row? Doesn't seem like it. I wouldn't trade Danks. The Sox only have three legitimate starting pitchers in their organization. I understand he isn't part of the future, but in the meantime somebody needs to pitch. It might as well be Danks. And given his salary, I don't think he would fetch the Sox a bounty of elite prospects anyway. Trading him would be nothing more than a salary dump, IMO.
