After playing alongside Ozzie Guillen on the left side of the White Sox infield for years, Robin Ventura now follows him in the dugout as skipper, starting with today’s contest against the defending American League champion Rangers. Here’s a look at the roster with which he’ll be starting the 162 game grind.
John Danks, Jake Peavy, Gavin Floyd, Chris Sale, Phil Humber
With Mark Buehrle gone, John Danks moves up to the top of the rotation, getting his first Opening Day start today. Peavy looks to have his first injury-free season on the south side. Chris Sale attempts to move from the bullpen to the rotation and fulfill the promise he showed in college. Humber was a surprise success last season and hopefully can continue that success.
Matt Thornton, Jesse Crain, Will Ohman, Addison Reed, Hector Santiago, Zach Stewart, Nate Jones
