Cubs Rotation Very Promising This Year

Starting pitching will be the Cubs' strength this year. We have a good surplus of arms. When you have that, you are in good shape because pitching wins ballgames and championships. We have a legit ace in Zambrano, a great young lefty in Rich Hill, and a solid veteran in Ted Lilly. The favorites to be the other two starters are Ryan Dempster and Jon Lieber. If anything goes wrong, there is still Jason Marquis, Sean Marshall, Angel Guzman, Sean Gallagher, and Kevin Hart. This miles better than 2006, when Dusty Baker was forced to send out there anyone who was healthy and was willing to do it; this is how Sean Marshall got to the majors too soon, and why Carlos Marmol was stuck in the starting rotation. A smart GM stockpiles starting pitchers. Jim Hendry has also done it.
