The 1971 Baltimore Orioles would like to have a word with you guys. Palmer, Mcnally, Dobson, and Cueller all won 20+ games, and Cueller had the worst ERA at 3.08. Also, the 1998 Braves: Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Neagle, and Millwood.

 

But it's easily the best rotation on paper of the past decade, and depending on the on-field results, could be #1. You have to figure Halladay and Lee should win 20 games, Oswalt can probably get 16+, and Hamels still has the ability to get 14+.

yeah I'm personally a big fan of maddux-glavine-smoltz myself

 

also lmbo that two of the three guys to get a bigger contract as a starter than cliff lee are barry zito and....................mike hampton

That Mike Hampton deal has to go down as one of the biggest free agent blunders in any sport.

Well, yeah on paper it's the best rotation of the past decade. I think they can win 100 games with this rotation.

 

Only time will tell.

 

Though I'm calling it first here that they SHOULD all be 15+ winners.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Mad-Dog. I think he's the best pitcher of this era and maybe all time, but having those three guys is just killer. I won't even count Hamels and I think that Oswalt, Halladay, Lee just might be the best NLDS rotation ever, thinking ahead that is.

Or you can contemplate the three succinct words of an NL general manager who had this reaction upon realizing his team would have to face this group: "Oh … my … God."

 

I feel like this guy.

 

Edit:

 

"1991 Braves (Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Steve Avery, Charlie Leibrandt)"

 

Wow. No wonder we went worst to first.
