Yea, The team that also won the WS with those "average" starters.. hmmmmmmm... I wouldn't say Washburn, Escobar, Colon, Lackey etc.. are an "average" rotation. And yankees, oak., red sox have calibar "hall of fame" starters??? Your talking out of your ass on this one. Vasquez is good yes. Mussina is so-so this year. Brown can't stay healthy. Contreras isnt that good. Redsox another story. Pedro, yes. Lowe has been so-so. Wakefield has been so-so. that's basically it. Oakland hmmmm... Zito has sucked this year. Hudson (if he can stay healthy) has been good. Mulder has been decent. Harden is so-so. Redman... no. That's it. Nice try.
