When the Chicago White Sox break their spring training camp they’ll do so with only 11, opposed to their usual 12 pitchers. But when Jake Peavy returns, that number might have to go back to what it normally is.

“And thank goodness for that tendinitis, because then common sense comes in and makes sure that Peavy stays and gets extended spring [training]. That’s what I’ve said all along needed to happen. To me, you were setting yourself up for disaster if he broke with the team. Maybe the tendinitis is the biggest blessing they’ve had all spring.”
