As the 2011 season approaches, the Chicago White Sox are preparing to once again attempt to overtake the Minnesota Twins for the American League Central crown.
Team president Jerry Reinsdorf and general manager Kenny Williams have worked hard acquiring talent this offseason that will ensure the team will remain competitive with the likes of the Twins and Detroit Tigers.
Perhaps the biggest strength of the White Sox roster is their starting rotation. Between John Danks, Gavin Floyd, Mark Buehrle, Jake Peavy and Edwin Jackson, the team has what is on paper one of the top rotations in the American League.
But even with such an elite level of talent, there is a certain level of uncertainty surrounding most parts of the rotation.
Buehrle and the more recently acquired Jackson will all be free agents after 2011, while Danks will be arbitration eligible. Peavy, on the other hand, has a large sum of guaranteed money coming his way over the next few seasons.
If the organization aims to keep their rotation somewhat in tact for the long-term, decisions will have to be made.
One of the first decisions may be dealing Jake Peavy and his hefty contract away from the south side.
