That's definitely true - it's only Spring Training.
However, I do feel that performance in Spring Training is a better way to choose the fifth starter than to rely on pulling a name out of a hat or something of the like... Park has been better then either Johnson or Loaiza so he should have the spot. I'm not expecting more of the same in the regular season - but he's been successful on the Dodgers before, so I wouldn't be surprised if he could be a more than solid fifth starter (I'm thinking an ERA around 4.35, which is far better than most fifth starters).
