those rotations are bad. i think we're going to have to agree to disagree, b/c those rotations are terrible (unless guzman experiences NO growing pains and is able to throw 180 injury free innings). the cubs lost 83 last year w/ prior and wood making 37 starts. if they make ZERO this year, i don't see how the cubs' worst case scenario for them in 2006 can be losing 83 again. jones, eyre, pierre, and howry aren't big enough upgrades to counter the loss of 37 starts from two great starting pitchers. Yeah, but they're upgrades. I don't know how this team is worse than last year in any likely scenario.
