Contreras to Start Season in the Rotation

Way back, last August, Jose Contreras had an Achilles Tendon injury that was supposed to keep him out until midway through next season. Now after dropping 42 lbs. in the off season, Contreras could join the Sox rotation on Opening Day. This according to Kenny and Ozzie speaking from their new Spring Training home in Glendale, Az. Some teammates of Contreras are even saying that he is throwing the ball better now than he was last season. This year Contreras has reverted back to the windup he used in 2005-2007 where his arms came over his head. Having Contreras in the rotation would be a huge boost for the Sox who are relying on a unproven, young 5th starter. If it were me making this decision, I would either wait until he is finally recovered and is 100% or refuse to pitch him on his normal rotation day and give him an extra day or two of rest.

Here is my Sox rotation with Jose in it:
