Until not long ago, Danks was a very useful 5th starter and inning eater that could even work for a contending team. However, I believe Danks is no longer a good fifth starter, and maybe he won’t be able to eat innings which taxes the pen.

It may be too early (Only four starts), but I have followed the Sox for many years and I have seen Danks for years. Danks looks very hittable, and that does not bode well with Danks’ walk% spike. Too many baserunners for a pitchers that has not swing and a miss stuff = opposition teams scoring lots of runs.
