Hector Noesi

On April 20, the White Sox ran up seven runs against Noesi when he was a reliever on the Rangers. They claimed him off waivers later that week, and he was in the White Sox's rotation by the end of the month. He stuck as a back-end starter for the remainder of the season, which may have been more attributable to the White Sox testing him out in a lost season rather than his actual ability. Noesi struck out more than twice as many batters than he walked in his time in the rotation, but also allowed a ton of home runs (27 in 27 starts). Nineteen of those home runs came at the homer-happy U.S. Cellular Field, so there could be room for improvement if he learns how to pitch to the park. It would also help if his 12.9% HR/FB rate regresses down a few percentage points. He enters 2015 with the inside edge for one of the final rotation spots in camp but could be a long-relief option if he can't re-earn his 2014 role.
