|
| |  | CHI WHITE SOX: HITTING: The departure of Juan Pierre opens things up for SS ALEXEI RAMIREZ to hit leadoff. 2B GORDON BECKHAM will get a fresh start, but his leash is shortening. 1B PAUL KONERKO faded last year. He's potential trade bait for the rebuilding Sox. Did DH ADAM DUNN need a year to adjust to A.L. pitching and DHing? With his contract, the Sox will have to find out. OF ALEJANDRO DE AZA's late-season surge probably wasn't for real, but it was enough to get him the inside track on a starting job with Carlos Quentin having been dealt to the Padres on New Year's Eve. OF ALEX RIOS has bounced back before, but at his age the odds are longer now. The organization believes in OF DAYAN VICIEDO. His improving approach and power fit well in U.S. Cellular, but he could platoon with KOSUKE FUKUDOME in left field. C A.J. PIERZYNSKI has motivation for one more solid season as free agency looms. 3B BRENT MOREL is good glove, but has a limited stick. OF/1B BRENT LILLIBRIDGE has an improving bat and can play just about anywhere.
STARTING PITCHING: JOHN DANKS doesn't look like a true No. 1 starter, but he keeps consistently throwing strikes and has some swing-and-miss stuff. Maybe it's because he's fallen short of his once-elite prospect status, but GAVIN FLOYD seems to get no respect as a quality middle-of-the-rotation arm. He was especially good after adding a cutter/slider-type pitch last year. JAKE PEAVY isn't going to win another Cy Young, but unlike last year, his shoulder should be close to 100 percent. The big question will again be whether, as a flyball pitcher, he can keep the ball in the park at cozy U.S. Cellular. PHILIP HUMBER was a nice surprise in 2011, but don't be fooled. It wasn't a former top prospect finally figuring it out. It was a back-of-the-rotation arm getting some good breaks. CHRIS SALE will make the move to the rotation. He'll likely be on some pitch counts, but this is an exciting development. With his stuff (he already has a solid changeup to go with his fastball/slider combo) he has monster upside.
RELIEF PITCHING: With closer Sergio Santos shipped off to Toronto, youngster ADDISON REED figures to be the top candidate to close games. Any young closer is a risk, but Reed's fastball/slider combo has been dominant over two pro seasons. Lefty MATT THORNTON might have blown his chance to claim the closer role last year. He had regained his form as a top set-up man late in the year, but if Reed falters he might be no more than a committee guy. JESSE CRAIN chased strikeouts more aggressively last year, but he also issued more walks. He may miss the first couple weeks of the season with an oblique injury. | | TAMPA BAY: HITTING: OF DESMOND JENNINGS' on-base skills will lead to tons of runs and SBs despite his mediocre batting average. 2B BEN ZOBRIST bounced back from a disappointing 2010, and will continue to produce near the top of the batting order. Though a series of nagging injuries plagued his 2011 season, 3B EVAN LONGORIA slugged 17 HR in his last 53 games. Fully healthy this season, he'll be an elite power-hitter with double-digit SB potential. OF B.J. UPTON's days in Tampa may be numbered. He's an elite athlete, but he just might lose his head if he's traded into a tough situation. After a hot start, OF MATT JOYCE settled in as the productive hitter he is. He should get to play every day in right field. SSs SEAN RODRIGUEZ and REID BRIGNAC will battle for ABs but neither hits on a consistent basis. C JOSE MOLINA was acquired for his defense much more than his hitting. DH LUKE SCOTT can also play some 1B when slugger CARLOS PENA, who is returning to Tampa after hitting 28 homers for the Cubs in 2011, needs a rest.
STARTING PITCHING: DAVID PRICE was a little more hittable than in 2010, but he increased his already-high strikeout rate while cutting back on walks. His win total should rise from a disappointing 12 last year. JAMES SHIELDS put his 2010 disaster season behind him and became a Cy Young candidate. His peripheral stats and skills weren't all that different the past two years, it was a big swing of luck. Some people are putting out the Bust Alert on Rookie of the Year JEREMY HELLICKSON. He had the league's luckiest batting average on balls in play (.217), but he improved as last season progressed. MATT MOORE may be this year's R.O.Y. after a dominant late-season call up. He'll be among the league leaders in strikeouts for years to come. WADE DAVIS is a mediocre pitcher who eats innings at the back of the rotation.
RELIEF PITCHING: KYLE FARNSWORTH looked as strong as he has in years, converting 25 of 31 saves in his first season with the Rays. He's the closer again this year, but it won't take much for him to lose that job after an unsteady last third of the 2011 season. JOEL PERALTA may overtake Farnsworth for ninth-inning duties at some point this season. Peralta was 5-for-5 on saves in September when Farnsworth was hurt, and gave up only one run in his final 21.3 innings. Possible future closer JAKE McGEE progressed nicely after a tough start to 2011. He's got potentially lethal stuff. Former Angels hurler FERNANDO RODNEY is looking to bounce back after a wild season (28 walks, 26 strikeouts in 32 IP). |

*White Sox-Rays Preview* ========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Chicago (34-48) at Tampa Bay (46-40), 7:15 p.m. EDT
While Tampa Bay's Matt Moore was able to recover from a rough three-week stretch, Chicago's Chris Sale hopes a new month is what it will take to end his current drought.
Trying to win his fourth straight start, Moore hopes to help the Rays extend Sale's winless stretch to seven games and record a fourth consecutive victory over the White Sox on Saturday night.
After going 8-0 with a 2.99 ERA in his first nine starts, Moore (11-3, 3.65 ERA) went 0-3 with a 9.31 ERA in the next five. Since then, the left-hander has allowed four runs and overcome 12 walks by striking out 24 in 19 1-3 innings to win three straight.
He gave up two hits and fanned nine in seven innings of a 12-0 victory at Houston on Monday.
"He's going to continue to get better," manager Joe Maddon said. "That's his 11th win right there and we're still talking about the little foibles that he may have.
"But to his credit he knows that and he knows that there's room for improvement, and because he does he's going to continue to get better."
Moore improved to 2-1 with a 1.47 ERA against the White Sox (34-49) after he allowed a solo homer to Adam Dunn and two other hits while striking out nine in six innings of a 10-4 victory April 27.
Moore went 1-1 with a 1.46 ERA last season when he squared off both times against Sale (5-7, 2.79), who is 2-1 with a 4.08 ERA as a starter versus Tampa Bay (47-40). Sale allowed two runs, four hits and walked four but struck out seven in seven innings of a 5-2 win over the Rays on April 25.
That victory began a five-start stretch where Sale went 4-0 with a 1.18 ERA. However, after the left-hander missed his next scheduled start May 21 because of shoulder tendinitis, the calendar turned to June, where he went 0-5 with a 3.19 ERA in six outings.
His teammates have totaled 12 runs in those starts, and managed six singles Sunday when Sale gave up three runs and struck out 10 in eight innings of a 4-0 loss to Cleveland.
"Just another tough one," he said. "Just got to keep your head up, keep plugging along."
Chicago showed little fight while losing for the 25th time in 35 games, 8-3 at Tampa Bay on Friday. Desmond Jennings had three hits and James Loney added two with an RBI for the Rays, who have outscored their opponents 58-28 while winning nine of 12.
"As a team we're doing a really good job of getting better at-bats and that's huge to make sure that the team keeps hitting the way we're doing right now," Rays catcher Jose Molina said.
Loney is batting .406 during his 16-game hitting streak, while Jennings has hit the same over his last seven.
Jennings, however, is 1 for 6 with three strikeouts versus Sale.
Despite Chicago's struggles, second baseman Gordon Beckham has batted .390 with seven RBIs in his last 11 contests.
