7 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds have tabbed veteran right-hander Homer Bailey as their Opening Day starter according to manager Bryan Price. Many onlookers expected this to be the case based on how the team's starters were arranged but Price made it official on Friday. Price explained his decision by saying, "He's best-suited for it. This is a guy who has pitched in the postseason. He's pitched no-hitters, complete games and he's pitched on really good teams. He's best-suited to match up with everybody else's experienced, top-of-the-rotation starter compared to asking the young guys to take it on." Bailey has missed the past three Opening Days due to elbow injuries and this will mark his first career Opening Day start.--Matt T - RotoBaller
