| |  | CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - From rock bottom last season to contention this year? The Chicago White Sox see no reason why it can't happen.
They're ready to put last season's 99-loss wreck behind them and make a jump at least back to respectability, if not a run at the AL Central title.
They see a team with solid pitching, a new slugger in Jose Abreu and renewed vigor. Now, all they have to do is back it up.
''You have to pitch, you have to hit, you have to score,'' said manager Robin Ventura, entering his third season. ''You have to play defense. You have to do all of them in our division. Detroit has won it the last few years. They have a combination of everything. Unless you do that, you're not going to be close. We proved that last year.''
They had the pitching part down last season. The rest? Well, that's where things got dicey.
| | TAMPA BAY: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Rays feel they have everything it takes to win the World Series and aren't afraid to say it.
The budget-minded franchise that's played into October four out of the past six seasons boosted payroll instead of cutting back this winter in hopes of making another strong run for the playoffs.
''The goal is to be the team that plays the last game of the year and win,'' third baseman Evan Longoria said.
''I felt like we were really close to breaking through last year,'' the three-time AL All-Star added. ''And with the team that we have this year, I'm really excited to go out and try to prove to ourselves that we are good enough to do that.''
The Rays won 92 games a year ago, including a Game 163 tie-breaker to claim a wild-card spot, and have compiled the second-best record in baseball over the past six seasons.
That's not enough for manager Joe Maddon and a hungry collection of players who reported to spring training feeling as if there's unfinished business to tend to after losing to eventual World Series champion Boston in the AL division round.
''I love that our guys feel and think that way. I think it's great,'' Maddon said.
''You'll hear that rhetoric in a lot of clubhouses, whether it's baseball, football or basketball, but you've got to back it up. You have to really believe it. Not just say it,'' he said. ''Some groups say it because they're supposed to say it. Some groups say it because they believe it. Our guys believe it.''
That confidence was bolstered by the Rays' ability to keep most of the key components from last year's roster together, including lefty David Price, who anchors one of baseball's deepest pitching rotations.
Price and just about everybody else expected the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner to be traded, however the Rays wound up giving him a $14 million one-year deal, in addition to re-signing first baseman James Loney and landing free agent closer Grant Balfour in moves that represent a big chunk of a club-record payroll of around $80 million.
Andrew Friedman, the team's vice president of baseball operations, also traded for catcher Ryan Hanigan and infielder Logan Forsythe to give Maddon additional flexibility filling out a batting order around Longoria and 2013 AL rookie of the year Wil Myers.
''Talent can't win every game for you, but it's a good start,'' said Loney, who signed a three-year, $21 million deal - largest since Tampa Bay has given to a free agent since Stuart Sternberg became principal owner.
''If we can stay healthy, if we can do the things we're capable of doing,'' second baseman Ben Zobrist add, ''we certainly have as good or better chance than any other team in the league to win it all.''

*White Sox-Rays Preview* ========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Chicago (69-83) at Tampa Bay (74-79), 7:10 p.m. EDT
While the retiring Paul Konerko is hoping to return from an injury this weekend, the Chicago White Sox's current star first baseman, Jose Abreu, will continue his push toward AL Rookie of the Year honors.
After recovering from a broken left hand, Konerko could get to play in a three-game series at the Tampa Bay Rays that begins Friday night.
In part because of the emergence of Abreu, the 38-year-old Konerko has appeared in 74 games in his 18th season, and hasn't played since Sept. 2 because of the injury. He took batting practice in Kansas City earlier this week but manager Robin Ventura kept him out to give him more rest.
"I think during the weekend we'll be able to give him hopefully a couple of at-bats," Ventura told MLB's official website. "If he's up for it, he can probably DH one of those games."
Konerko is the franchise's leader with 4,008 total bases, and ranks second in games played, home runs and RBIs. The six-time All-Star was the AL championship series MVP in 2005 during the team's run to its only World Series title in the last 97 seasons.
Abreu is well on his way to establishing his own storied legacy with the team, and his 35 home runs are tied for a White Sox rookie record.
Abreu, who has only two homers in his last 23 games, went 7 for 17 with three home runs and 11 RBIs as the White Sox took three of four from the Rays on April 25-28. Chicago was swept in three games in its latest visit to Tampa Bay in July 2013.
The favorite to win the Rookie of the Year Award with a .319 average, 103 RBIs and a .975 OPS, Abreu will get his first look at Jeremy Hellickson (1-3, 3.63 ERA), who will try to avoid going winless at home this season. The right-hander is 0-3 with a 4.94 ERA in six starts at Tropicana Field and is 0-2 with a 4.21 ERA in his last seven overall with Tampa Bay (74-79) losing in each.
He matched a season high with eight strikeouts in six innings Saturday in Toronto and did not get a decision in a 6-3 loss.
Hellickson earned his last win in Tampa Bay while pitching in relief against Baltimore on Sept. 20. His most recent victory in a home start was against the White Sox on July 5, 2013 - a span of 12 starts.
"Against the White Sox last year? That's a long time ago," Hellickson told MLB's official website. "Yeah, I mean it would be nice to get a win at home before the season is over."
Hellickson is 1-2 with a 3.86 ERA in three career matchups with Chicago (69-83).
The Rays had a three-game win streak snapped with a 3-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday, their second defeat in the last six home contests.
The White Sox have dropped 10 of 12 on the road and three of four overall after matching a season high with four consecutive wins.
Jose Quintana (8-10, 3.30) earned one of those victories Saturday against Minnesota, allowing one run and three hits in seven-plus innings and striking out a career-high 13 in a 5-1 final. The left-hander is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA, 23 strikeouts and four walks over 20 innings in his last three starts.
Quintana is 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA in two lifetime starts against Tampa Bay, both in 2012.
