That's probably a little optimistic.

I'm sure the Astros would be thrilled to get 30 total wins out of those two.

I think the big difference is that all of the Cubs pitchers will still be just as good (or better) in five years.

I take the Cubs rotation over the Astros. We've yet to see how Pettite will do in a hitters park and Clemens is getting up there in age. He may put up some wins but he might be inconsistent at times. The Cubs staff is just so dominant and young. Zambrano, I think will have a fairly good year. Anyways it'll be fun watching these 2 teams duke it out.

Re: Who has the best starting 5 now: Cubs or Astros?

Who had the better rotation last year the cubs or the Marlins. I think everyone would agree that the cubs did. That didn't stop the Marlins for winning the series. The cubs might still have the better rotation but the Astros have the better team.

In my opinion the Marlins still have the best pitching staff......but i think i'm a little bias....

Re: Who has the best starting 5 now: Cubs or Astros?

I'd rate it this way

1. Marlins
2. Cubs
3. Astros

It'll be interesting to see how the Florida pitchers do with an average guy behind the plate calling the signals. I'm one of those people that believe a catcher can have an impact on how well a pitcher performs. As it stands now tho Florida has the best rotation and the youngest out of the 3.

BTW cdastros the 'Stros have put up some very talented clubs in their history but have NEVER been able to win a playoff round. The franchise must be cursed or something. I also don't like their manager Jimy Williams. He's bound to screw up the pooch at some point down the road.
