John Danks signs minor league contract with Braves

The deal includes an invitation to spring training so the team can determine if Danks has anything left in the tank. The way the Braves are set up now, they will inch near the .500 mark in 2017 and with the upgrades the team has made with the starting pitching it seems very unlikely that Danks will crack the starting rotation. But if he does show something in spring he could be used as a long-reliever out of the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Danks has not been the same since injuring his shoulder and the subsequent surgery in 2012. Not much to see here or get excited about in the fantasy world.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact

John Danks with a complete game victory

John Danks threw a complete game giving up one run. He allowed seven hits while walking one and striking out five.

Fantasy Impact

Danks is not a very good fantasy pitcher. Enjoy this performance if you happened to start him but most of the time he should only be used in deep leagues.

John Danks much better in July

John Danks has struggled greatly over the last couple of seasons after overcoming injury. He has shown to be improving in recent starts, including the 2-0 victory over Kansas City on Friday. The left-hander threw six scoreless innings.

Fantasy Impact

Danks poses little trade value with his bloated contract, but if the White Sox were to incur some of the money, he could be a back of the line starter for a contender.
