The question is moot in this day and age, as pitchers have not been conditioned to pitch regularly on 3 days rest coming up as youngsters. I don't see a change back to a 4 man rotation any time soon, if ever.

Except in short series.

Man, if I'm the Cubs, I really like my chances in a seven-game series with a four-man rotation of Prior, Wood, Maddux, and Zambrano. You'd have to face those first three guys twice.

Or toss in Clement. Who I actually like better than Zambrano. But either or is not a bad back end to the rotation in a series.

You might be right but, actually, Ive heard people talk about going to a 4 man rotation at various times.

If I'm the Cubs, why even pursue Maddux? They already have Juan Cruz/Angel Guzman/Chad Blassko in the wings. Unless they think they can get another bat for them. Its a shame, because the Cubs have a ton of MLB quality arms, but Dusty is absolutely ruin for young pitchers.
