The Book on Jordan Danks
Prospect Info
Jordan Danks
Born 8/7/1986
OF, CHW
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 has a quick bat and what the White Sox hope is developing power. He popped eyes at Winston-Salem in 2009, raking to a .322/.409/.525 clip, but stumbled a bit when promoted to AA Birmingham. He'll probably get a shot to play everyday there again in 2010. He's still a year or two away from joining his brother, if he can keep on developing and refine his strike-zone discipline.
