lets marvel at how bad our starting pitching is Our best starter, Lester, has lucked (or veteran presenced) himself to a whole 0.9 WAR, good for 57th among qualifiers, behind studs like *squints* Clayton Richard (42nd,) Tyson Ross (34th,) and Jose Urena (31st.) After that you've got Jose Quintana (0.6 WAR, 67th,) Kyle Hendricks (0.5 WAR, 71st,) and ... that's it. Only 88 pitchers qualify. Our rotation is so bad that Chatwood has been allowed to throw 70 innings despite literally walking a batter an inning and our second-most valuable pitcher is a 115-pound reliever who hasn't pitched in a month and may be dead. Or I guess it might be 5.9 K/9 Mike Montgomery.
