[QUOTE="Serious Late, post: 1182550, member: 5520"] I actually agree that the starting rotation still needs a bit of work. I was surprised when reading it was top 5 in baseball, I just do not like Lackey very much at all. Hammel and Hendricks are perfectly fine 4s and 5s, but when you get to the playoffs it's all about pitching and the ability to go 4 deep. Now if we go get ourselves a young, talented arm like Tyson Ross or Carlos Carrasco... look out. This team is as ready as ready can be. This is not to complain about the team as constructed or suggest the Cubbies shouldn't be viewed as on of the favorites to win it all this year, but I was hoping Hoyer would go get that 3rd stud arm and was a bit disappointed when it was Lackey. Still plenty of time and who knows how it will all play out. They have the talent to win it all right now, just not the top end depth of starting pitchers to make me overly arrogant heading into the season. [/QUOTE]
