Cubs line up aces for Reds
Cincinnati Enquirer
Kerry Wood will start the Chicago Cubs opener against the Reds at Great American Ball Park on April 5 and be followed by Greg Maddux and Mark Prior.
Manager Dusty Baker wants to use Maddux, the four-time Cy Young Award winner who re-signed with the Cubs this month, and his crafty assortment of pitches between his two young power pitchers Wood and Prior.
"I'm going with Prior after Maddux to give a different look, plus you know Prior can learn a lot from Maddux, I think," Baker said Saturday.
