That seems weird to me. But to each their own I guess.

Tim Hudson to start Friday's Grapefruit League opener for the Braves against the Tigers. Paul Maholm to start Saturday against the Yankees, Julio Teheran Sunday against the Pirates, Kris Medlen Monday against the Marlins and Mike Minor on Tuesday against the Nationals. If the Braves use this rotation and each pitcher starts every 5th day Kris Medlen would be slated to start the season opener against the Phillies, followed by Minor in game 2 and Hudson in game 3. If I had my way that would be the rotation I would go with.
