Z
Dempster
Lilly
Wells
Gorz/Marshall/?
Lilly is hurt. I don't know when he'll be starting. May? June? Wells may have had a career year as a rookie. Z and Dempster -- you pretty much know what you're gonna get from those two. Both good #2 pitchers, with flashes of brilliance. And the #5 slot is a big unknown.
Not the rotation of a pennant winning ballclub.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
2009
Blanton
Hamels
Moyer
Myers
Park
2008
Hamels
Moyer
Kendrick
Eaton
Blanton
those are the starting rotations from the beginning of the year, for the last 2 pennant winners. Are those the rotations of a pennant winning ballclub? Do they contain fewer questions than the Cubs proposed 2010 rotation? Their 2009 rotation had 2 good players and 3 ???s. their 2008 rotation had 1 good player and 4 ???s.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
