Which team has the deepest starting rotation in baseball?
Question:Very few teams, if any, have good #5 starters. #3 and #4 guys are usually pretty weak too.
Also, was there any team last year that had all of its starters with an ERA under 5.00? I realize that no team ever has the exact same 5 guys all year long, so just consider the 5 SP who started the most games.
Answers:
How many different ways can you reach base without getting a hit? name them.?
In my opinion it could be one of a couple of teams:Detroit Tigers
Los Angeles Dodgers
Milwaukee Brewers
The Tigers rotation is young (minus Rogers), healthy (minus Rogers... for now), and filthy. I believe they sent Miner down to the minors, but have him available should they need him, and a top prospect in Andrew Miller, who looks like he could be ready should they need him.
The Brewers could have the best rotation in the MLB as well, which is why I think they're gonna break their streak of consecutive under .500 seasons. Ben Sheets is finally healthy and it showed on Opening Day. Very impressive outing. Capuano sort of cooled off after the break last year, but it could have been the inning load he had. They have some nice depth with Suppan and Bush as well.
The Dodgers also have an excellent rotation. With Lowe, Schmidt, Penny, Wolf, and Tomko, it's really nice. Don't forget Kuo who started last year will be in relief if they need him, and Billingsley, who was excellent last year. They also (as if they didn't have enough) have Hendrickson, who can start if needed.
The Angels could also have a good rotation. If Colon and Weaver can get back to the way they were, the Angels would have Lackey, Ervin Santana, Escobar (although he's day to day now), Weaver, and Colon, with Saunders waiting if needed.
As far as the Red Sox go, 1-3 looks nice on paper with Schilling, Matsuzaka, and Beckett, but there are many doubts:
1) Who knows how good Matsuzaka will really be.
2) Who knows if Beckett can adjust (because he still hasn't)
3) Schilling is old.
4) Lester is recovering from cancer.
It's these four problems that really prevents the Red Sox from having a great rotation.
To answer your second question: The top six starters as far as games started for the Padres all had ERAs of under 5.00. The top five starters on the White Sox did it. The Tigers did it. Most of the Dodgers did it. The Brewers did it. The Mets did it. The A's did it.
I believe that's it.
What was the started line up for the Boston Red sox 1967?
Baltimore OriolesSeriously, I'd have to say The Detroit Tigers.
And not just because I am a Tiger fan, but because I am a baseball fan.
What is the average time a baseball pitcher actually is on the mound per season?
I think that the Dodgers have a real good rotation. They have Schmidt, Lowe, Penny, and Randy Wolf. All four guys were aces sometime in their careers. They also have one time starter Brett Tomko as a long reliever.Why is it that the Yankee fans think that they deserve respect from other fans?
Tough call.but I have to go with Baltimore with my heart and with my head id go with detriot or chicubs if they have evryone healthy which never happensAlyssa Milano & a Baseball blog?
the red sox. its a no brainer with the dodgers coming in second, SCHILLING, BECKETT, DICE-K , WAKE AND LESTER!! no doubt its the soxHow come sac fly isn't called RBI flyout? Why isn't RBI groundout called Sac Ground?
The Detroit Tigers have a very deep starting rotation.Jeremy Bonderman
Kenny Rogers
Justin Verlander
Mike Maroth
Nate Robertson
Even though Kenny Rogers is hurt right now, they proved last year that they have some young pitchers in the minors who can handle the spotlight. Zach Minor looked good last year and Chad Durbin could do just as well.
Name 4 closers that will get a save tonight?
i have to agree with the tigersThe Tigers currently.Also the Cubs if all the pitchers stay healthy.Thats pretty much it
Do you think the Cincinnati Reds will win the World Series this year?
The Detroit Tigers not only have the best starting rotation but all in all the best pitching staff. They've got Verlander, (injured) Kenny Rogers, Jeremy Bonderman, and others. They've got Todd Jones closing for them and Joel Zumaya about to take his job when he is fired and Zoom Zoom throws the fastest FB in all of the MLB.Whose beater cubs or sox in baseball in 2007?
The Detroit Tigers in the AL and The Phillies in the NL.Only Major League Baseball player to make the allstar came every year of his career (10 years+)?

The Angels of Corse.With Colon, Escobar, Santana, Weaver, Saunders, and K-Rod you can't beat them.
A quick fantasy baseball question.?
Dodgers even though Lowe and Wolf didn't pitch great their first startsDodgers ,then theToledo Mudhens
It would have to be the Dodgers, Tigers or Red Sox. They all have good rotations.
Dodgers:
Schmidt
Lowe
Penny
Wolf
Tomko
Tigers:
Bonderman
Robertson
Maroth
Verlander
Durbin
Red Sox:
Schilling
Beckett
Matsuzaka
Wakefield
Tavarez
All three of these teams have very good 1-4 guys and the #5 guys aren't bad either. Tomko was a very good starter only a few years ago, Tavarez is pretty solid, and Durbin is a young guy with a lot of potential.
An argument could be made for the Giants as well since they have so many young pitchers that could be future Cy Young winners. Currently they have:
Zito
Cain
Lowry
Morris
Ortiz
Only Lowry and Morris are question marks for them but both have been great in the recent past, Ortiz is coming off two horrible years but looks to have turned himself around and could make comeback player of the year in the NL. Waiting in the wings they have Linecum, Sanchez, Wilson, Foppert, and Valdez, any of which could be a #4 or 5 starter this year if they didn't have so many guys in front of them and all of them look to have bright futures in the league.
If a player jumped over the wall and catches on a homerun bound ball is it an out?
Would have to be the Red Sox, but it's very close. But, the sox will have Schilling, Beckett, Dice-K, Lester and Wakefield. All are plenty capable of winning 15, if not 20 games, and all are capable of ERA's under 4.Why do the st. louis cardinals only have one jersey?
i would have to say the detroit tigers.More Questions & Answers...
