Drafted Danks in like round 19 in a league, used him the first month and half, then dropped him as he started to stink. Added him for spot starts along the way. Never was impressed with Floyd. I agree with Kevin above that they are both #4 starters in fantasy, guys that you would use depending on match-ups. If either is your #3 I would bet you are not winning your league.

Both are pitchers that you have to monitor closely to use. You can’t just buy the Danks or Floyd brand name and start them every time out
Floyd requires you to see if he has his curveball or not I’d agree with the #4 assessment for Roto purposes. In terms of useful raw stats, they just don’t produce enough to be better Posted 08/24 at 05:21 PM

At the start of 2009, Bill James listed Danks as one of the 25 best major leaguers under age 25. And I know other sources were predicting good things for Danks and average (or poor) things for Floyd. But it just shows you the inconsistency and the growth factor of young pitchers. I like them both, but I only consider them a #4 (maybe #3) SP in fantasy.
