Baseball: Best Rotation

Who's got the best rotation?

i like the A's rotation with Mulder Hudson and Zito

Well last year i thought that the Yankees had the best rotation.

But this year maybe the Astros cause they got Pettite and Clemens

2. Mike Mussina - 3.40 ERA, 203 K
3. Kevin Brown - 2.38 ERA, 221 K
4. Jose Contreras - 2.23 ERA, 61 K (60.1 IP)
5. Jon Lieber - 0.00 ERA, 0 K
Total: 2.96 ERA

Oh yeah...and prospect Jorge DePaula.
1 ML Start: 6.1 IP, H, BB, 5 K, took perfect game into 6th, took no-hitter into 7th.
ERA in low 3s in AAA

well contrares hasn't exactly had the best luck with the yanks last season, he was horrible at times from the bull-pen

Actually, his ERA from the bullpen was 10.38, and his ERA starting was 2.23 BIG DIFFERENCE

It's Contreras. And they won't be using him in the bullpen, he's the #4 starter.

Ummm, the Cubs should be mentioned here as well. As should the Red Sox considering they got Schillings to go with Pedro.

The deepest IMO is the Astro's, especially if they have Oswalt and the others come back 100%.

The cubs have a good rotation and it will help if they are able to sign FA Greg Madduck. And then they will have the best rotation, right now i think its a toss up with the A's and the Red Sox's.

i agree with Ben that if the Cubs get Maddux they will have the best rotation hands down. But don't count out Atlanta, i know the guys they have now don't look good on paper but what Bobby Cox and Leo Mazzone have done with young pitchers in the past is most likely gonna keep on happening.

you think they are that good?

after all these bandwagon riders are done with their dreams that the yanks still have it.

I am going to say the A's of course!
Zito
Hudson
Mulder

They Yanks wont have a bull-pen this year they will only have hitters, and more hitters. I think Mussina and Rivera are there only good pitchers.

I would go with the cubs aswell they have a good pitching staff and i think they will have a real good season i quite fancy them to make it all the way..Saying that my A's have always had good pitching aswell...

The cubs will have the best staff if they are able to get madduck. They have a really good one right now but it would be much better with madduck.
