    4 man vs 5 man rotations, which is better?

    There are compelling arguments either way but I like the 4 man rotations. Which do you think is better? What are the overriding pros and cons in your eyes?

    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.

                            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.
