"The Reds' playoff pitching rotation will be Edinson Volquez, Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto, in that order. That was the word today from manager Dusty Baker in his pre-game media session.

Volquez was named the Game 1 starter on Saturday. Baker announced Arroyo and Cueto today.

Regarding Arroyo: "A little softer," Baker said. Meaning, a softer thrower in the middle of hard-throwing Volquez and Cueto."
