Default Patterson is Nats' No. 1 starter and only starter

Quote:
VIERA, Fla. (AP) -- John Patterson gives whole new meaning to the term "No. 1 starter."

He is, after all, the one pitcher guaranteed a spot in the Washington Nationals' rotation as spring training begins. Now the lanky right-hander is setting out to show he's the guy who appeared to have a breakout 2005 and not the guy who lost most of 2006 to a right forearm injury.

"This is an opportunity that everybody looks for, whether it's a team that only has one starter or not. It's still the opportunity to pitch on opening day and be the head of a staff," Patterson said, sitting at a picnic table outside the Nationals' minor league complex. "I have the ability to do it. If I stay healthy, there's no question in my mind."

Hopefully others emerge in ST, but the major thing is we should have went after some of the pitchers in free agency. Patterson is our opening day starter!
