Lackey Should Start Opener For Angels

Although Mike Scioscia hasn't named an opening-day starter, John Lackey was slotted into the rotation on Thursday--putting him in line to start the April 2nd opener against Texas. Lackey was strong in his first spring start, striking out five and walking none in three innings.

Lackey was pretty much a no-brainer with Bartolo Colon to miss the first month of the season. He is in line for another solid year and is one of the more underrated staff aces out there.
