    Bochy announces rotation order

    Manager Bruce Bochy just told us the starters’ order for the first few Cactus League games, and in doing so let us know his current plans for the regular-season rotation.

    That rotation would go:

    Matt Cain
    Madison Bumgarner
    Tim Lincecum
    Barry Zito
    Ryan Vogelsong

    Lincecum before Vogelsong is a bit of a surprise, given their seasons last year. Bochy offered no explanation for the reasoning but reiterated that nothing should be read into it.

    “I don’t want these guys to get caught in it and I don’t want to send that message either,” Bochy said. “At the end of the year, if they’re all healthy, knock on wood, they’ll all all be in the same spot.”

    Vogelsong will start Saturday’s Cactus League opener against the Angels. The regulars who will play are Angel Pagan, Marco Scutaro and Buster Posey.

    Return here shortly for more details.

    I'd rather see Cain, Bumgarner, Lincecum, Vogelsong, Zito.

    It's symbolic that Zito started the home opener in year 1 and will be starting the home opener this year.

    We have to at least give him a chance. Still should be 5th tho. If Timmy and zito both suck than that's 2 games in a row that wont be fun to watch.

    We've given him six years of chances though and all he's got to show for it is five below average seasons (2011 only started 9 games so I'll give him a pass) and two great starts in the Postseason. Unless a miracle happens he'll just be his poor self unfortunately. Not trying to be mean, just stating the truth.

    boom spot on, i mean if they still wanted to brush Timmy's ego, then have him 3 and voggelsong 4, but this is exactly what i would do if i was boochy

    yeah, that gives at least some credence to having Tim go 3rd and Vog go 4th

    btw if we get the nightmare on Lincecum street part 2, then that's a free win for the dodgers to start the season lol

    14 in 14... let's say Zito start 34 games next year and the Giants win all of them. He could potentially be the first 48 in 48 pitcher of all time (as far as i know)!

    As long as Timmy isn't consistently imploding in the 5th/6th inning this season, I can live with him and Zito pitching back to back days.
