Erstad will start season as White Sox starting CF

Darin Erstad will begin the regular season as the White Sox everyday center fielder and hit second in the lineup, thus relegating Brian Anderson to bench duty. Coming off an injury-plagued year in which he played just 40 games because of ankle woes, Erstad is said to be in good physical shape. Batting in front of Jermaine Dye, Jim Thome and Paul Konerko gives the 32-year-old a chance to score a good deal of runs, though it isn't out of the question that the younger Anderson could steal playing time down the line.
