Hudson named Braves' Opening Day starter
Tim Hudson - S - Atlanta Braves
March 21, 2013 - 4:05 PM ET

Tim Hudson will start for the Braves on Opening Day -- April 1 -- against the Phillies.

A nice honor for the 37-year-old righty. Hudson posted a solid 3.62 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 179 innings in 2012 and should again carry mixed-league value in 2013. He will be followed in the Atlanta starting rotation by Paul Maholm, Kris Medlen, Mike Minor and Julio Teheran.
