White Sox's Miguel Gonzalez: Avoids arbitration

Gonzalez signed a one-year, $5.9 million deal with the White Sox on Friday, avoiding arbitration.

Analysis:

Gonzalez was a bit of a late bloomer, which is why he is still going through the arbitration process at age 32. He enters a contract year with a secure spot in the White Sox's rotation, and will look to outpitch his peripherals for the fifth time in six years.
