That's a tough loss for us even though he's an up and downer. We need Danks to be healthy to join Peavy and Sale as our first three guys. Then I am guessing it's Santiago as our #5

So, he's a FA after this season, right? If he's out til at least the start of opening day, my guess is no big offers. Do you give him a one year $6 million offer for 2014 with a club option say of $12 million buyout of $1 million for 2015?

I think I would.

No thanks. I've had enough of him in a Sox uni.

Time for him to get healthy & join another team.

I'd let him walk if hes having TJ. There are/ will be better options out there.

I hope all the irrational Gavin haters are happy.

I liked Gavin as the 3rd/ 4th starter, but sometimes you gotta cut your losses, "you got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em"

As a Cubs fan I would...just so that he can rebound and become a nice trade chip. Of course, he would backfire on my plan...

Hate to break it to ya but the Sox can do better than this mediocre head case.

The injury sucks & I don't wish that on anyone, but good riddance.

107 ERA+ is mediocre. My bad.
