PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. _ A pitcher throwing a successful simulated game early in spring training typically isn't considered headline-worthy.
But, for obvious reasons, the rules are a bit different when it comes to Danny Farquhar.
Last April 20 while in the dugout during a relief outing for the White Sox, the right-hander suffered a life-threatening brain hemorrhage, the result of a ruptured aneurysm. He underwent surgery the next day and upon being released from the hospital May 7, his prognosis beyond the diamond, let alone on it, was in question.
