Well, it's official. The Trib reports that Ozzie Guillen summoned John Danks into his sanctum sanctorum this weekend and bestowed upon him the magic sceptre that will make him the White Sox official 5th starter heading into this season.
In 16 2/3 innings this spring, the 21 year old lefty has given up 17 hits, and only 4 walks against 12 strikeouts.
Meanwhile, certain future Hall of Famer Brandon McCarthy has a 10.45 ERA in 10 1/3 innings with the Rangers this spring, and leads the Rangers staff with 5 home runs allowed. He's also walked or hit 9 batters while striking out 11.
So, at least judging by this spring training, which of course you probably shouldn't judge anything by, the Sox robbed the Rangers blind in this Danks for McCarthy trade.
A caveat on this though, the Sox would like Nick Masset to be better than he's been this spring. 16 baserunners in 9 2/3 innings and a 6.52 ERA is not so good.
