Don't forget about John Danks
by Al Melchior | Data Analyst

With quality starters like Brandon Beachy, Michael Pineda, Colby Lewis and Daniel Hudson all being candidates for a DL stash in Fantasy, not many owners have had John Danks' return from a shoulder injury on their mind. However, Danks is expected to make his season debut for the White Sox on Friday against the Marlins, so it's time to give the lefty a little attention.

Even with the majors' most coveted matchup on hand, it's too risky to start Danks in most leagues right now, but with a 16 percent ownership rate, he is being overlooked in many deeper mixed leagues. A healthy Danks is a good bet to provide a sub-4.00 ERA. a WHIP below 1.30 and a decent strikeout rate. It's not exciting, but those stats can come in handy in a 15-team mixed league.

Though you probably won't use him right away, pick up Danks now in those formats, and you may enjoy some nice production in the not-too-distant future.

"We'll have a plan midweek and announce what the next step will be," general manager Rick Hahn said of Danks. "We'll have him around for the next couple days, probably throw a [side session] with [pitching coach Don Cooper]."
