EDGE Analysis

Giolito was the best starter on the staff during spring training. He picked up some velocity on his fastball while commanding his entire repertoire, which includes a curveball, slider and changeup. He's in line to follow Opening Day starter James Shields and will pitch Saturday, March 31, against the Royals in Kansas City.
