Exhibition games begin

Here’s the rotation for the first week of exhibition games (via PA).

Wednesday at Toronto: Brett Tomko

Thursday vs. Tampa: Phil Hughes

Friday at Minnesota: Ian Kennedy

Saturday vs. Minnesota: Joba Chamberlain

While Tomko will get the start today against the lefty, Brett Cecil — let’s face it — all eyes will be on Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod (along with Jeter and Cano) is expected to see at least some time in today’s game in Dunedin. Of course, although it’s rather early, this will allow him to adequately prepare for his involvement in the WBC.
