Chicago White Sox: Lucas Giolito itching to get on field

The Chicago White Sox organization, as well as their fans, would love nothing more than to watch a game in the South Side right now.

Lucas Giolito expected to start his season on March 26, as an Opening Day starter for the first time in his career.

After looking like a potential bust, the right-hander had a strong 2019 season that saw him have a 3.41 ERA, 3.43 FIP, 1.064 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, and 2.9 BB/9 over 29 starts (176 2/3 innings).

That performance made Giolito the de facto ace ahead of the newly-signed Dallas Keuchel and Gio Gonzalez as well as Reynaldo Lopez and Dylan Cease.
