After Reynaldo López pooped himself last night, it seems Lucas Giolito has shake-and-baked his way back into the lead in the battle for most promising unproven rotation arm, which is the way the pair ended last season. Of course, Giolito has backed into that status due to Reylo’s recent stinkitude, but still, two of Giolito’s last three starts have been strong, one average. It’s something to build on, or something.
Tonight, Yo-Yo is up top ...

Perhaps the White Sox will raise the ante and start Davidson on the mound on Sunday.
