Minnesota Twins
Sometimes, all you have to do is stick around long enough in whatever you are doing.
Kyle Gibson has done as much and now he’s starting to thrive. After four sub-par seasons (and one par season in between), Gibson is in the midst of a breakout.

He’s only 32 innings and 6 starts into the season, but his ERA+ is 129 and his FIP suggests it’s not a mirage.
Gibson is giving up way fewer hits and home runs. He’s striking out way more batters (like, 3.5 more per 9 innings) and he’s walking slightly more in order to do such.
He’s got the build of someone who could be a late-bloomer and, so far this season, he looks like one. Good thing for Minnesota, too, because Gibson is about the only pitcher who has been a positive surprise so far.
Chicago White Sox
There’s sticking around long enough to eventually thrive and then there’s just being plain old. James Shields is the latter.
Shields’ numbers are a concern. He’s giving up fewer hits than he had been for the previous few seasons and a lot fewer home runs. His walks aren’t up, but his strikeouts are way down.

He’s been right around 7 or 8 strikeouts per 9 innings over his career, sometimes getting close to double-digits. This season, he’s at 4.8.
So once the ball does start leaving the yard, he’s in for a heap of trouble. I would not be in the least bit surprised if Shields fails to make it out of this season.
