re: Opening Weekend Rotation Set by PM

Based on what Valek did in fall and spring scrimmages, along with others' ailments and Valek's starting experience, I have no problem with him starting on Sundays until someone else beats him out of the job. He is not an overpowering pitcher; He just finds ways to get batters out. In today's scrimmage, he twice got K's to get out of jams. The runs scored against him all came in the 5th on Fraley's HR. He then retired the next 3 batters to end the inning.
