Humber to start White Sox's first Cactus League game Monday vs. Dodgers. Will throw an inning.

Danks to follow Humber Tuesday and then Peavy goes Wednesday, which would align a rotation of Danks, Peavy, Floyd, Sale, Humber. BUT ...

 

... nothing is official yet as far as the regular season rotation goes.

Quintana starting B game Monday. Bruney also working in that one

Looks like the rotation is set, if Humber starts a B-game on the off day March 20, the rotation goes right up until opening day:

 

1. Danks

2. Peavy

3. Floyd

4. Sale

5. Humber

 

That's fine. The schedule is set up to skip Sale a few times in the first half. Keeping him at about 28 starts this year is good enough.

28 starts at an average of 6 IP would be a very solid year IMO

For who, Sale? I could be happy with that for Sale.

 

For Humber or Peavy that would be sad. Not because they have development to do, but because they're already so far along that they need to be pushed towards 200.

I know it's only spring training, but can't wait for the game!

Oh me too! Although I probably won't be able to watch any of the game, since I will probably be sitting in the seats at the Marlins/Cardinals game.

Would this rotation make Peavy pitch the home opener?

Whoops, almost entirely forgot about Humber's existence.
