White Sox general manager Ken Williams said Tuesday that Chris Sale will be in the starting rotation next season.
Sale has pitched exclusively out of the bullpen since being drafted 13th overall in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, posting a 2.58 ERA and 111/37 K/BB ratio over 94 1/3 innings at the major league level. The White Sox had plenty of starting depth last season, even using a six-man rotation for a stretch, but should have an opening if Mark Buehrle signs elsewhere.
