[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1405933, member: 26283"] If any of Bryant, Morrow or Darvish come off the DL before September, and no one less gets hurt, De la Rosa will be the one who gets sent down or away. (Not sure De la Rosa’s contract situation, whether they’d be able to send him down without releasing him.). Once September comes, the point is moot. For the playoffs the Cubs have only carried 11 or 12 pitchers under Maddon. The fifth starter has yet to make the playoff roster. The plan was always that Chatwood wasn’t going to be on the playoff squad anyway. I would love for Hamels to keep pitching the way he has (or anywhere even close to it) and for a healthy Darvish to have a great September. That would make it so that the Cubs don’t have to rely on either Lester or Quintana. Because right now, I can’t see the Cubs winning a 7-game series if they need starts from either of those guys. They’ve got 8 or so starts to turn things around. [/QUOTE]
