The White Sox are planning on an Opening Day rotation of Chris Sale (LHP, CHW), Jeff Samardzija (RHP, CHW),  José Quintana (LHP, CHW),  John Danks (LHP, CHW), and Hector Noesí (RHP, CHW). The most interesting question in Chicago is not if, but when, Carlos Rodón (LHP, CHW) (pictured above) will displace Danks or Noesi this season.
