John Danks and Edwin Jackson better pick up the pace soon for the Chicago White Sox
26-year old lefty John Danks and 27-year old righty Edwin Jackson could be battling for one spot in the White Sox’ starting rotation when manager Ozzie Guillen decides to cut the rotation from a six manner to a five manner. Danks has pitched in 11 games (all starts) for the Pale Hose so far this year and he is 0-8 with a 5.25 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. He has given up 81 hits (11 homers) in only 70 1/3 innings so far this year as he hasn’t been missing many bats this year. Edwin Jackson has pitched in 11 games (all starts) for the White Sox so far this year and he is 4-5 with a 4.63 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. He has given up 79 hits in only 68 innings pitched so far this year for the White Sox, so he isn’t missing a lot of bats either. Jackson has said that he wouldn’t object to pitching in relief, so he might be the one removed from the rotation as long as Philip Humber keeps pitching well.
