I believe Tyler can match AJ’s power numbers, just not too sure about his patience at the plate and ability to take walks.

Last season’s White Sox, the one with the overachieving offense that fell apart at the end of the season, would have likely been able to hold Detroit off and win the AL Central with a 200 inning performance from John Danks. That rotation had a glaring hole much of the season.

I do not claim that a healthy Danks will put the 2013 White Sox in the playoffs. Repeat performances will be necessary, as you said, but I do think a full time Tyler Flowers can come pretty close to AJ’s breakout year. An extra year of managerial experience should help Ventura not manage the White Sox out of ballgames, too.

The White Sox offense really overachieved last year, and it really hasn’t improved all that much, we’ll need repeat performances from Rios, Dunn, and someone to take AJ’s place (who had a career year). A strong rotation is a step in the right direction, but I can’t say Danks is the difference.

He needs to come back healthy this season.
