No wins and, in my opinion, sucking huge cock this year so far. I really don't give a shit about fuck heads and numbers and shit, this guy is sub-par and on par with a giant turd.

5+ ERA

Not many K's

1.51 WHIP

Batters hitting almost .300 off of him.

ZERO WINS.

Floyd is the better of the two and it may be wishful thinking but Danks goes to the bullpen when/if the 6 man rotation gets axed. Fuck this guy.

I will see you in hell, Danks

Hey John! Stop cocking your hat to the side, stop sucking at baseball and start pitching better!

Not sure. Initial reaction would be to say a lot. But then I think of the money the Ross Ohlendorf got.

Arbitration is based more on service time over results. There was a case where an arbitrator had to have 'RBI' explained to him. So no, advanced stats aren't a factor either.

I finally dumped John Danks from my fantasy team. I predict he throws a perfect game in his next start.

Title should read "Danks = Bad lately". He has been pretty damn good the last three years. I hope that this poor play convinces him to sign a long term contract with the White Sox. Also, the eternal question: Who would you replace him with?

The White Sox have pushed John Danks' next start back to next Monday against Seattle and moved Jake Peavy up a day to start Sunday's game against the Tigers. Edwin Jackson also said he would accept a move to the bullpen.

Hopefully the 6-man rotation is finally coming to an end.

He is pitching just fine! wins, whip, Ba against, ERA, K's....all kiddie stats with little meaning! You gotta go to fan graphs and Baseball Prospectus to find the latest obscure stat like VORGONFUCKYOURSELF, which will show you he is just fine!

Service time comparables. That's when all this came out because the stats geeks started saying that the arbitrators must have looked at sabermetrics. They didn't.

Title should read "Danks = Bad lately". He has been pretty damn good the last three years. I hope that this poor play convinces him to sign a long term contract with the White Sox. Also, the eternal question: Who would you replace him with?

No. He's your mess and I'll be damned if I'm gonna clean him up.

The reason teams were able to use sunday starters was because of the doubleheaders.

He's really inefficient which results in higher pitch counts than you would think he would have. It's not that he walks guys but it sure seems like he goes from 1-2 to 3-2 much too often. It seems like he wants to be paid like a great pitcher but despite what many others think, I think a great pitcher needs to be someone who goes out there and wins games. I'll grant that he is still maturing and these are results of immaturity.

The White Sox have pushed John Danks' next start back to next Monday against Seattle and moved Jake Peavy up a day to start Sunday's game against the Tigers. Edwin Jackson also said he would accept a move to the bullpen. Hopefully the 6-man rotation is finally coming to an end.

Hawk was talking about the 6-man rotation and said Peavy likes it because of the extra day of rest. I wonder if they're thinking about making him a sunday starter. They obviously aren't afraid of thinking out of the box. Making him a sunday starter will give him his rest between starts and the other guys can pitch a little more frequently and not have so many days off between starts.

Jackson is in a contract year and if he shows anthing as a starter he will get some big money.
