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 Kris Medlen, Mike Minor, Paul Maholm and Julio Teheran.
