Angels: Peek into starting rotation
John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar each will pitch Tuesday when the Angels conduct an intrasquad game. Hector Carrasco and Dustin Moseley are also among 12 pitchers who will throw in the intrasquad game.
Ervin Santana is in line to start the Cactus League opener Thursday against the Kansas City Royals.
The schedule gives an inside peek at the regular-season rotation, something Scioscia has refused to disclose. If Lackey starts on Opening Day, as expected, it appears as if he will be followed by Escobar and then Santana.
Joe Saunders and Jered Weaver would assume the final two spots of the rotation. With Weaver behind schedule because of biceps tendinitis, it is likely he would take the No. 5 spot in the rotation to give him more recovery time.
