Vicente Padilla will start for the Dodgers on April 5th in their season opener against the Pirates. He will be followed in the rotation by Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley and Hiroki Kuroda. "We just had to pick somebody, and he was the one," manager Joe Torre said. "Am I going to say he is better than the other guys? I can't do that. We just decided to line them up that way. ... Again, we have four guys where I think you can put their names in a hat and just take it out."
