But when Hughes, Joba, and possibly Kennedy come around they could finally have a triple-threat in the rotation the likes of the 90's Braves (Smoltz, Maddox, Glavine) or early 2000's A's (Zito, Moulder, Hudson).
I admire your optimism, but Smoltz, Glavine and Maddux are first ballot hall of famers. So far with Hughes, Kennedy and Chamberlain you have a guy, who hasn't been healthy, a guy, who hasn't shown anything in the big leagues, and a guy, who is going to start his first game tonight. I think all three will have major league careers, but wouldn't them in the claass of the three Braves. They still have some proving to do.
I actually think the Yankees should have made the deal for Santana. Pitchers of his caliber are rare and he's still young and in good shape. He can be the anchor of a staff for years. I was disappointed the Mets got him. He's 7-3 and is keeping the Mets in the race.
