[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1400555, member: 588522"] I think the cubs are at a point most expected them to be. Position players are fantastic and young. Pitchers are middling and old. Not saying they need to trade top guys like Russel or Happ, but at some point you gotta look at your rotation and see the guys aren't cutting it. TBH Lester, Hendricks, and Quintana are probably 2,3,4 guys. Some combination of Darvish/Montgomery gives them at least an above average rotation. I have no problem throwing Lester out there as our ace--his mentality gives him an edge, but the problem with that is Darvish isn't a 2, and the way Hendricks season has gone, neither is he. Not saying a team like this can't win it all with only above average starting rotation, but it puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the team. [/QUOTE]
