Diamondbacks' Zack Greinke: Named Opening Day starter

Greinke has been named the Diamondbacks' Opening Day starter.

Analysis:

As expected, Greinke will make his second straight Opening Day start for the Diamondbacks and third Opening Day start overall. He'll face a Giants team that he fared well against last season, notching a 3.28 ERA in four starts. Greinke's velocity caused some concerns this spring, but the Diamondbacks are clearly confident that he'll be able to pitch up to his standards once the season begins.
