I would probably be harder on Danks, but I'm a huge fan of his, and thus give him nice rookie numbers.

He had an ERA over 4.2 and batters hit .261 off of him last year. He gave up more hits that IP and had a WHIP of 1.4. Hes not close to having over powering stuff or great off speed pitches. I really don't get how people have him as a top 50 prospect.

If he can keep is ERA at 5.00 or below he will pitch the entire season.

Promising first season, but with struggles. Typical talented rookie. Every starter on that staff gave up over 25 home runs last year, iirc, so that home run number may even be conservative. I think he will surprise with the very good BB rate, and that's what will keep his ERA from ballooning. Ozzie Guillen and AJ Pierzynski will be up his ass the second he doesn't locate his pitches, and I think he'll respond to that. With his stuff, that's most all he needs to do.

In the long run, I'm far more worried about injury than ineffectiveness.

Think he'll struggle with his control too much to pitch late into games, even with Ozzie whipping him along. Injuries will also play into it. Have no idea why I have him with 15 decisions in 20 starts, but maybe he pitches a lot of blowouts, one way or the other.

When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."
