White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy said he felt fine on Thursday a day after throwing a 40-pitch side session. Peavy is penciled in on March 4 to make his first start of the spring in Chicago’s fifth Cactus League game — against the Angels in Tempe, Ariz.
That would place Peavy on target to start the fifth game of the regular season on April 6 against the Royals at Kansas City, barring any regression from surgery this past season to repair a detached muscle in his right shoulder.
“I’m far ahead of where I thought I would be at this point,” Peavy said. “But I can’t push it and I’ve got to be cautious.”
also, Ozzie named Mark Buehrle as the Opening Day starter.
1.buehrle
2.floyd
3.danks
4.jackson
5.peavy
that’s the rotation then, right. we can belive that buehrle and ranks will be ready, but floyd needs to have a stronger start than last year, and jackson needs to keep doing what he was doing last year. peavy is also a questionable, but coop says he’s looking good so I trust his judgment. all good news from the camp.

yes, floyd needs a stronger start.
but about edwin, will he play like he played for the sox last year? he has a long history of mediocrity. if coop can keep him him pitching like last year, he’d be a magician.
