Third to first

• Jake Peavy told MLB.com at SoxFest that Chris Sale should be the team's Opening Day starter. He didn't change his tune when asked Tuesday, although manager Robin Ventura said the team would wait a while before naming one.

• Hector Santiago and Tyler Flowers have been in Arizona since the beginning of February, and Flowers already has caught the southpaw a couple of times. Flowers also has caught newcomer Matt Lindstrom three times in the past week in an effort to solidify that pitcher-catcher bond. "Those days just build that comfortable friendship," Santiago said. "He knows what I throw, and I know how he likes to catch and call pitches."

• Catcher Hector Gimenez is the only pitcher or catcher not in camp, delayed due to visa problems. The White Sox are hopefully he will arrive by Friday. Deunte Heath, whose arrival was going to be delayed with his wife Melisa due to deliver their second child on Thursday in Atlanta, was in camp Tuesday.
