[QUOTE="South Farms, post: 1365209, member: 590046"] I'm not disputing your analysis as far as who, if healthy all year, will probably pitch the most innings. Quintana will likely pitch more than Hendricks or Lester , both of whom rarely get past the 6th in most games. Lester hits his pitch count and Hendricks simply runs outta gas come the 7th. But of those three pitchers, Lester will pitch opening day , out of the respect Joe has for him , and frankly, Lester has earned. So "officially" Lester is #1. Now if Arietta somehow comes back to Cubs , all bets are off as to who opens. Arietta is your new #1 in talent and may get the nod from Joe as a thank you for coming back. I would be cool with that. But back to the original discussion, Quintana will likely be the horse of the staff the next 3 years. [/QUOTE]
