The Diamondbacks consider Chase Anderson a favorite to break camp in the rotation, according to azcentral.com.
The club wants to create a lot of competition for the rotation, and it was initially believed Anderson would be competing for a spot. General manager Dave Stewart sort of quashed those rumors, saying he perceives Anderson as a strong favorite right now. "Chase Anderson won nine games for us last year; you have to strongly consider him as part of our rotation," Stewart said.
Anderson is expected to pair with Josh Collmenter and Jeremy Hellickson for now. The club will determine the final two spots in the rotation during camp.
Anderson, 27, posted a 4.01 ERA over 114 1/3 innings last year.
