| | | 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.
| | DETROIT: DETROIT (AP) - When Justin Verlander takes the mound for Detroit on opening day, maybe then the Tigers will be able to enjoy a much-needed sense of normalcy.
As an offseason of drama gave way to spring training injuries, it was easy to forget the Tigers still have one of the most talented rosters in baseball. Sure, there have been some early problems for new manager Brad Ausmus to address, Detroit still figures to be the favorite to win its fourth consecutive AL Central title.
''We have a new look this year,'' outfielder Torii Hunter said. ''Little bit more speed and we'll miss the big man, but we'll score some runs.''
The ''big man'' is Prince Fielder, whom the Tigers traded to Texas in a blockbuster deal that brought second baseman Ian Kinsler to Detroit. That move gave the Tigers more financial flexibility, although they weren't all that aggressive in pursuing free agents. Detroit did sign Joe Nathan to replace departed closer Joaquin Benoit.
The Tigers also traded right-hander Doug Fister to Washington.
Lately, the focus has been on right-hander Max Scherzer, who enters his final season before free agency after winning the Cy Young Award in 2013. Negotiations with the Tigers on a long-term deal have stalled.
''They respect where I'm at. I respect where they're at, and we'll revisit this after the season,'' Scherzer said. ''I still want to be in Detroit. I love this clubhouse and everything about it. There's been a history of this team signing free agents so hopefully I'll be a part of that history as well.''
But right now Scherzer's future is uncertain, and with Hunter and Victor Martinez in the final season of their contracts, it's hard to say what Detroit's 2015 roster will look like.
So the Tigers may never have a better chance to win a World Series with this group than right now.

| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER AL PREVIEW (CHI WHITE SOX-DETROIT) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*White Sox-Tigers Preview* ==========================
Chicago (8-10) at Detroit (8-6), 7:08 p.m. EDT
Chicago White Sox starter John Danks has already had plenty of trouble against the Detroit Tigers.
Detroit 's addition of Ian Kinsler only figures to add to his woes.
Danks lost all three 2013 outings to the Tigers and has dropped his last five in Detroit heading into Monday night's opener of a four-game set.
These AL Central rivals will start their 19-game season series with a matchup that figures to favor the home team.
Danks (1-0, 3.32 ERA) went 0-3 with a 5.48 ERA in three starts against the Tigers (9-6) last year to drop to 4-10 lifetime against them. The left-hander is 0-5 with a 6.28 ERA in his last five outings at Comerica Park, with the five defeats tying his highest total at any visiting ballpark.
The Detroit hitter that had given him the most trouble over the years is Austin Jackson, a .378 hitter against Danks. Kinsler, acquired from Texas in the offseason in the Prince Fielder deal, is even better at .387.
Danks gave up one run in six innings Wednesday in a 6-4, 14-inning loss to Boston.
Kinsler was part of one of the strangest plays in recent memory in Sunday's 2-1 home win over the Los Angeles Angels. He scored in the first inning when the Angels made three errors on one play and Jackson scored another unearned run in the sixth.
Miguel Cabrera went 0 for 3 to finish the series 1 for 11 with four strikeouts, and the reigning two-time AL MVP is 8 for 47 (.170) in his last 12 games. He's 10 for 35 against Danks, but 0 for 9 against lefties this year.
The Tigers will start Anibal Sanchez (0-1, 3.21), who is 2-2 with a 3.04 ERA against the White Sox in four starts - all last year.
The right-hander has yet to last past the fifth inning, pitching that many innings and giving up three runs in a 3-2 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday.
Sanchez will get his first look at Cuban rookie Jose Abreu, who is 5 for 9 in his last two games after a 1-for-25 slump.
Abreu and Jordan Danks each had two-run homers as Chicago (9-10) ended a four-game slide with its highest scoring effort of the season, a 16-2 win at Texas on Sunday.
Marcus Semien turned in his second four-hit effort and finished with a career-best four runs. He tripled in three runs after an intentional walk in the sixth inning.
"That's a little fire, it gives you a little fire when you see that happen right in front of you," he said. "I'm glad I got the result and we as a team got the result."
Tyler Flowers and Dayan Viciedo each added three hits and scored three runs for Chicago, which has scored the most runs in the majors with 106 but owns baseball's second-worst at 5.18 ERA.
Cabrera, Torii Hunter and Victor Martinez combined for 11 homers and 30 RBIs as Detroit won 12 of 19 from Chicago last year.
The White Sox have dropped 24 of their last 30 games at Detroit.
