| |  | 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 JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Chicago (70-83) at Tampa Bay (74-80), 1:40 p.m. EDT
Though no longer in playoff contention, the Tampa Bay Rays at least have a chance to evaluate some young talent for the future.
Perhaps auditioning for a spot in the 2014 rotation, Nathan Karns looks to build on his strong Rays debut Sunday against the visiting Chicago White Sox.
After reaching the playoffs four of the previous six years and winning the AL wild-card game in 2013, Tampa Bay (75-80) is left to play for pride and see if any of their September call-ups have a legitimate chance at sticking with the club in the spring.
Karns (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is one prospect who could be in the mix for a spot at the back end of next year's rotation.
After going 0-1 with a 7.50 ERA in his first three career starts for Washington in 2013, Karns returned to the majors to yield two hits and strike out eight in seven innings of a 1-0 victory at Toronto on Sept. 12.
"Any time you can pitch in the big leagues, you can't take it for granted," the right-hander said. "I would definitely say this, to me, is a little bit more special."
He certainly left a positive impression on Rays manager Joe Maddon.
"That really exceeded expectations," he said of Karns, who went 9-9 with a 5.08 ERA in 27 starts for Triple-A Durham this season.
One night after the Rays were officially eliminated from the playoff chase with a 4-3 loss, they bounced back to win 3-1 Saturday. Nick Franklin hit a two-run homer and Chris Archer threw 6 1-3 scoreless innings to help Tampa Bay snap a three-game skid against Chicago (70-84).
The Rays now focus their attention on John Danks (9-11, 4.88), who allowed four runs, seven hits and four walks in 5 2-3 innings of a 4-0 loss April 26 to fall to 0-4 with a 6.37 ERA in his last four starts against them.
Chicago has dropped eight straight starts overall by the left-hander, who was 0-5 with a 7.01 ERA in his previous eight before giving up two hits and overcoming four walks over six scoreless innings of a 4-3 loss at Kansas City on Monday.
"I am going to compete and do what I can to give us a chance," Danks, who left with a 3-0 lead, told MLB's official website.
Tampa Bay's Yunel Escobar is batting .372 in his last 12 games, and is 6 for 12 against Danks.
In the midst of his final road trip before retiring at the end of the season, Chicago's Paul Konerko is 0 for 5 with two strikeouts in the series after missing the previous 14 games with a broken hand.
"I can still feel (some of the pain) in there a little bit," said Konerko, who is 4 for 42 in his last 16 contests. "I'm happy I'm back right now."
With a single Saturday, AL rookie of the year frontrunner Jose Abreu is batting .409 against the Rays this season.
