Jordan (yes, John's brother) is a prospective centerfielder of the future in Chicago. Drafted by the White Sox in the 7th round of the 2008 MLB Draft. Danks projects as a quality defender in center, with plus speed and a solid arm. At the plate, he's a lot less ready, but his quick bat delivered a 257 .344 .425 line at AAA last season, a record pretty consistent with his performance at lower levels, so he seems only a baby step away from being a solid-average contributor in MLB. His career-high 14 homers last season is almost twice as many as he hit any other year, and he was .997 smooth in 132 outfield games played, mainly in center. If he has a weakness, it's his propensity to strike out, but the White Sox would probably trade 150 whiffs for a .900 OPS, and he's on track to deliver that sometime in the next couple of years.
