Best Back to Back to Back Days (Starting Pitchers)

Re: Best Back to Back to Back Days (Starting Pitchers)

I'm not sure if I'd put them in the top 10 (though I think they are better than Cincinatti's top 3) but Mulder, Carpenter and Morris could make some noise this year. As could Santana, Radke, and Lohse if Lohse learns how to pitch this year.

Zambrano's the best pitcher on the Cubs roster, there's no way he's the fourth starter. Until Wood and Prior prove otherwise, that rotation should be referred to as the Zambrano, Prior, Wood rotation. And if healthy, its the best 3 in baseball, followed by Houston's trio. There are too many question marks in regards to New York and Boston's top 3 to make a case for either of them being at the top of the list.

Look out for the Jays pitching staff this year ..

Halladay/Lilly/Bush could be right up there imo, if Halladay stays injury free, Lilly has a similar year to last, and Dave Bush continues to improve. Of course if the Jays get Zito (there are rumours) it'll bump them up the list all the more.

Yes this is a semi-homer statement.

I am a marlins fan but id put them above cincinatti whether its willis or leiter. The only argument would be health, but if you consider that then Cubs should be lower.

Re: Best Back to Back to Back Days (Starting Pitchers)

yes I know they aren't going in this order, however. if healthy. The best 3 in baseball are Wood/Prior/Zambrano

when on top of their game and healty, they are practically unhittable

While I generally agree with you. Lets face it Wood has been a major disappointment. He's never won more than 14 games, and has only logged 200 innings twice in his career.
