I really hope I get to see a completely healthy rotation of Harden, Verlander, Oswalt, Unit & lil' Weaver for at least a few weeks this season. Garland has actually been pretty good this year & McGowan is looking like he was once supposed to, but I'll be pretty happy when those guys are sitting on the sidelines unless needed to fill out my seven starts. If I get those five going at full speed, I'd put my rotation against anyone's.

 

Now, the likelihood of all those guys being healthy for an extended stretch is...well...a stretch.

I'm up for that challenge when my staff is completely healthy.

 

Roy Halladay

Pedro Martinez

Jeremy Bonderman

Matt Cain

Ervin Santana

James Shields

Adam Wainwright

My rotation isn't as good as those 2, but I have probably the 2 best 2nd half pitchers from last year. Johan Santana and Cole Hamels. Along with the phenom, Gallardo. If those guys all pitch to their potential, it won't really matter who is in my 4-5 spots.

The top of my rotation is pretty darn strong too:

 

Josh Beckett

CC Sabathia

John Lackey

Jeff Francis

Tim Lincecum

 

But then I finish off with Scott Olsen and John Danks.

 

Tim's minor league staff is loaded.

And I added Carrasco today. :D

 

My major league staff should benefit from Hughes & Miller down the stretch.

Hmm, I just scooped up Billy Rowell and Wade Davis. Not bad.

I'd rather have those guys than Carrasco. :(

tim definitely has a leg up on winning the minor league roster potential portion of the league. and the league championship in 2012.

I also had the strongest minors the past few years, giving me a leg up on winning this championship! :)

i was surprised you didn't make more moves using that sparkling farm system of yours last season.

It was a combination of overestimating the strength of my team and keeping the minors strong for sustained excellence.

What is Garland's score? That might be a new record low.

Thanks for withdrawing your earlier trade offer that would have given me Garland instead of Marquis. :D

He has negative thirtysomething.

like that wasn't going to happen after all your talk about your great pitching!

and like marquis wasn't going to suck after you said that!

 

when are you guys going to learn about fantasy baseball karma?

 

ps - i'm going to lose this week anyway, so this post of mine won't really come back to haunt me karma-wise.

He sucked less than Garland (by a long shot) at least. We'll find out tomorrow how this karma affects Webb. Maybe he'll tear his elbow in the game and need TJS.
