Muskat @ CWS:

Chicago general manager Ken Williams says pitcher Jake Peavy is ahead of schedule in his rehab, but the White Sox are not counting on the right-hander to be ready by Opening Day or even the first month. Peavy suffered a detached latissimus dorsi muscle near his right shoulder in early July. “He’s well ahead of schedule,” Williams said Tuesday, “but I don’t want to count eggs before they’re hatched.”

… Despite the injury, Williams said the White Sox head into 2011 with pitching depth. Asked if he expected to acquire another starter, Williams said the team has six now and would add another depending “on how much we want to shake it up.”

… “Whether his time will be now or later will be dependent on what’s available in the free-agent market,” Williams said.
