I'd start Peavy if he has an average to good spring.

Jake seemed like an ornery bulldog during his few starts with us in September. I doubt Mark will mind.

 

It'll be Buehrle. Peavy pretty much has said it should be Mark.

 

I think the rotation should be Buehrle, Peavy, Floyd, Danks, Garcia. It'll set up Danks, Garcia, and Buehrle the first weekend against the Twins. They need to try to get Danks and Buehrle vs the Twins whenever they can.

I hope it's Buehrle, Peavy, Floyd, Danks, Garcia

 

Set up two lefties against the Twins the first weekend.

 

Of all of the people to quote, use one of the decent writers in town...

Without looking at the schedule/matchups, I'd put Danks ahead of Floyd. Floyd tends to eat a few more innings than D1, so it makes sense to have him next to Garcia to try to use him to rest the bullpen a bit.

Come on, you know how Ozzie switches LHPs and RHPs

Danks actually threw 7 and 1/3 innings more last year than Floyd (although in 2 more starts), so the innings per start were basically even, with the edge to Floyd being very slight. With the balance of the rotation, I really don't think the order matters a great deal, other than Garcia is clearly the #5 guy. I might start Floyd in the #4 spot just because he had the injury issue late last year if I had to choose an order though.

 

As for opening day, I'm glad it's Buehrle. I really don't think who is 1 and who is 2 between Mark and Jake matters too much, so might as well let Mark have the opening day start, especially since Jake seems to have no problem with it.
