DUNEDIN, Fla. (Feb. 26) -- Roy Halladay was picked Wednesday to start Toronto's season opener, making it likely he will be the first major league pitcher Hideki Matsui will face in a game that counts.
Toronto opens at home on March 31 against the New York Yankees, who signed Matsui to a $21 million, three-year contract during the offseason.
Halladay, a 25-year-old right-hander, was 19-7 with a 2.93 ERA last season. He also is to start the Blue Jays' exhibition opener against Tampa Bay on Saturday in St. Petersburg.
