Felix Hernandez will start for the Mariners on Opening Day. Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu revealed his choice after Hernandez threw six innings in his final spring start Wednesday against the Indians. "It would be a big honor, a big honor, like 2007," Hernandez said. "For me, to be the ace of this staff, I'm excited for that. [Erik] Bedard is an ace too. But if he gives me that honor, I'm going to be happy."
