I got my question answered:
Q: did you see jordan danks?
what were your impressions?
prior to his oblique injury he tore up AA in the summer. not so afterwards
do you think it was more the oblique or a AA flameout?
thanks john
A: danks
I liked his athleticism a lot….fast, looks wiry strong. His swing looked slow and long in the two games I saw him play, and he was having trouble with pitches inside, which may have been an issue in Double-A. Scouts were mixed about him, some like him a lot, others think he’ll continue to struggle against better pitching.

”We’ve done our groundwork awhile ago,” Williams said. ”We’re going to look at our outfield. We have one spot left in our outfield. Fortunately, we can look at either corner spot or center field.”
According to Williams, if he doesn’t like what he hears on the outfield front, ”we’re certainly not under any dire pressure.”
That’s because Williams has watched Jordan Danks put on a show in the Arizona Fall League after a solid minor-league season. Sox pitcher John Danks’ younger brother also can lead off and play multiple outfield spots. …
