From the MLB website.
PHOENIX -- Vicente Padilla, released just seven months ago by the Rangers, was named the Dodgers' Opening Day starter on Thursday by manager Joe Torre.
Padilla will start on April 5 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh and be followed in the rotation by Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Hiroki Kuroda and an as-yet-unnamed fifth starter who the Dodgers will need on the first Saturday of the season in Florida.
Torre said that Padilla's selection demonstrates that the Dodgers, while lacking a true ace, have four quality starting pitchers.
"We just had to pick somebody, and he was the one," Torre said. "Am I saying he's better than the other guys? I'm not saying that. We decided to line them up that way -- the fact that we don't have a No. 1, we have four guys who have pitched important games for us."
....yuck.
