John Danks continues to pitch exceedingly well. Throwing 8 strong innings tonight, allowing only 4 hits, 1 run with 8 K's.
Kenny Williams gets slammed by a lot of people (mainly Cubbie fans, such as "BubbaMike") but the Brandon McCarthy for John Danks and Nick Masset was an incredible trade for the Sox.

Danks has been great, but let's not forget about Alexi Ramirez. The kid can really play second base and what an arm. Who found him?

I don't know if anyone, outside of player personnel in the Cuban baseball system, can claim to have found Alexei. But I understand that you mean who in the Sox system recommended Alexei? No doubt there are a few Sox scouts involved, but in the end kudos to Kenny!

Were there any bad deals made in the 2007-08 off season by Kenny Williams? Acquisitions by trade: Carlos Quentin Orlando Cabrera Nick Swisher
2006-07 acquisitions contributing big time this year: Toby Hall Nick Masset John Danks Gavin Floyd
Everybody else is homegrown in our system or has been with the team since/before 2005, with the exception of Esteban Loaiza, who so far is still getting in shape as a league-mimimum salary purchase a couple of weeks ago.
Williams has been slammed here regularly since 2006 for his deals, but as they all start to gel together, he is looking like the executive of the year again.

One thing you have to respect about Kenny is that he has a concept of what type of team and player he wants and goes after it-not just the big name. I never even had any real problems with some of his busts because the move at time made sense to me (with the possible exception of the Swisher thing-I'm still not sold on that one.)
