Danks was one of 21 AL starters with 20 quality starts this season. Another year away from surgery, fewer crappy starts, and a better offensive team should help him a lot.

I think the Glendale game is free video tonight. Of course that means no White Sox prospects will play, probably.

On that video link, you can see Mark Appel get called for a pitch clock violation. I already hate it, but I'm glad they'll find out how stupid it is in the AFL, and not in March.

He was really good this year, but had shoulder issues. I don't think he pitched the last 2 weeks. Maybe he found something, but he was with 4 or 5 organizations the last 4 or 5 years. I wouldn't count on him being healthy or effective in 2015. I'd bring him back though.
Just saying he's under team control and he's coming off a very good season. Obviously he has to be healthy, but for now, it should be assumed he's in the pen next year.
Not familiar with that Brian Anderson, but if he just got drafted in June, he isn't eligible to be traded this winter.
I also think Peavy probably had enough here. He loves the NL too.
After they didn't call him up in September, they might as well go all the way now with his service time.
Unless they make an unexpected trade, I'm ok with Sale, Quintana, Noesi, Danks, and Bassitt to start the year.

I didn't see what happened?
The runner was going from first, the follow through of the bat hit AJ in the head while the ball bounced away. So instead of going for the ball, AJ flopped so the runner would be sent back to 1B. It was classic AJ.
It was heads up, but once the bat hit his head, wouldn't it be a dead play whether he went for the ball or not?
