Mat Latos first start Saturday at Cubs.

 

Via the CST_soxvan Twitter.

 

So much for the panic about him.

 

they the sox will not need him in the rotation until the month of may. plus or minus.

 

i say, let him heal.

THE PANIC IS BACK:

 

 

 

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan now

Change to #WhiteSox pitching plan: Erik Johnson, not Mat Latos, starting Saturday at Cubs.

 

 

 

 

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 1m1 minute ago

White Sox actually switched it but hadn't updated pitching chart -- Erik Johnson is facing the Cubs on Saturday, not Mat Latos.

I'm looking at March 19th as the start of the countdown to opening day and being worried about stuff. When Sale makes his first start, they should go around the rotation three times before opening night. Hopefully the 3-19 to 4-2 period will go smoothly, and they'll be healthy and ready to roll on April 4th.

This is what I'm thinking as well. Nice post.

 

As long as none of them are hurt, 3 starts each should give them more than enough reps for the beginning of the season. There's no need to overuse them in exhibition games IMO.

Three starts each is nowhere near enough work prior to beginning the season. They are currently doing "B" games and the dreaded simulated games on the side to get work in. The fewer games means less stressful innings on the arms.

That's what I mean.

 

Three starts + the simulated games and side sessions.

Those opportunities have come with Sale throwing live bullpen sessions or in Minor League games until his Cactus League debut March 19 at home against the Dodgers. Jose Quintana started his Cactus League work in a B game, and Mat Latos will make his second trip to the mound at Camelback Ranch on Saturday while Erik Johnson gets the start in Mesa against the Cubs.

 

"Latos looks fine," said Cooper of the right-hander who threw Monday. "He's up to four innings and 60 [pitches]. He's where he needs to be. And we're doing the focused work like we were with Chris. Make it as focused practice as we can."

Maybe I'm looking too far into this but with the way the Sox are handling Latos it sounds as though he is penciled into the rotation with Sale, Q and Rodon, leaving Turner/ EJ/ Danks to battle for the 5th spot.

 

that will be an intriguing possibility .....
