John Danks signs minor league contract with Braves

The deal includes an invitation to spring training so the team can determine if Danks has anything left in the tank. The way the Braves are set up now, they will inch near the .500 mark in 2017 and with the upgrades the team has made with the starting pitching it seems very unlikely that Danks will crack the starting rotation. But if he does show something in spring he could be used as a long-reliever out of the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Danks has not been the same since injuring his shoulder and the subsequent surgery in 2012. Not much to see here or get excited about in the fantasy world.
