Jordan is the only Sox rep. But they managed to put four cubbies on the team. C.J. Retherford gets no respect.

Castro, Vitters, and Cashner are much better prospects that CJ, Morel, and the glut of mediocre pitchers we sent to the AFL.

Also, do you think Danks could develop into a solid leadoff hitter/CF for the Sox?

Defensively he could play in the bigs right now. His bat likely needs some work. Most scouts/reports have him projected as a solid regular but not a star. He hasn't shown the power that he was projected to have and many think it won't come. They see him as a solid defender who will hit for average, walk some, and steal some bases. He isn't going to be an ideal leadoff type unless he cuts down on the K's though. Ryan Sweeney is a comp I've seen thrown around alot. |

I actually think he may develop some average power. He will not likely be a power hitter, but I'm optimistic that he can hit for more power than some here are suggesting.

He has the frame for it, but honestly, it has NEVER come. He was one of the top prospects out of high school with the idea the power was on the verge of coming. The Reason he was just there in the 5th, not a steal, just there, was the power never came. Some thought it would in the minors, thusfar it hasn't. It is entirely possible he will develop some power, but I don't even expect him to have Rowand power of 20 homers a year. The kid is going to make or break his career by managing to get on base at a high clip, run well, steal bases, and hit a **** ton of doubles. He can do it, just will need time. |

I hope he doesn't ruin his career by forcing himself to hit for power. I think he strikes out a lot because he's a naturally aggressive hitter, but it may also be because he's trying to hit for power. Personally I want to see him forget about hitting for power and mold himself into a leadoff hitter. His best tools are his defense and speed and Sox can find power somewhere else. If he can put up numbers somewhat close to Ellsbury, Sox should be happy to have found a good-fielding centerfield lead-off man. Sometimes I think powerhitting is way too over-emphasized for some prospects.

Lillibridge: .252 .339 .358 (AAA only) Danks II: .243 .337 .356 (AA only) I literally shuddered when I noticed this striking similarity. Maybe Levine saw this too and determined Jordan Danks and Brent Lillibridge are the same person, just under different aliases. Maybe that's why Kenny "added" Lillibridge in the Vazquez trade. P.S: That color is teal, right? EDIT: Thank you, Daver and EMachine for correcting me. Fixed the colour now. Last edited by Pablo_Honey; 11-04-2009 at 08:19 PM. |
