White Sox lefty John Danks hopes to sign a multiyear extension with the White Sox, according to MLB.com's Scott Merkin. The 24-year-old is eligible for arbitration for the first time this winter. Though he was thrilled to receive it, Danks turned down a four-year, $15.5MM offer from the White Sox on the advice of his agent Jeff Berry before the season. Gavin Floyd accepted the same offer.

(note: bumped from FanPosts) In the same vein as yesterday's Minor League free agents, these are the John Maine -esque, under the radar steals of typically cheap, young pitchers that for whatever reason become available. Whether it's a post-hype prospect (like Maine), a 4-5 starter that's out of options but won't make the 40-man or just a player that's being overlooked, usually this is someone who...

More photos » by Paul Battaglia - AP Browse more photos » The early release of Dan Szymborski's ZiPS projections reminded me of the time I put in building a better projection for Gavin Floyd. At the time, there was some general discontent over the projections of some of the White Sox pitchers, and Floyd in particular. Rather than open it up to the masses for one of our Community Projections,...

Edwin Jackson (13-7, 3.25) vs. Daniel Hudson (0-1, 3.38), 2:05 p.m. EST After last night's amazing, improbable 12-5 win (and comeback from a 5-0 deficit), the Tigers go for the series win over the White Sox . Every win is obviously crucial right now, as the Twins have no intention of letting the AL Central slip away. But might the White Sox be a little irritable following Ozzie Guillen 's post-game...

If team is eliminated, it might sideline starters as a precaution for next season SEATTLE -- Gavin Floyd could have company if the White Sox shut him down for the remainder of the regular season.
