Jose Quintana is really, really good, so why does he seem like the forgotten man in the Cubs' super rotation?

Jose Quintana is an All Star, not far removed from being considered one of the American League's best pitchers. Between 2014 and 2016, he turned in a 3.29 ERA in a whopping 96 starts with the White Sox. It was a big deal when the Cubs acquired him last summer.

So why does he seem like the forgotten man in the Cubs' new super rotation?

Capable of being a No. 1 starter in plenty of big league rotations, Quintana has the talent — he fanned 12 Baltimore Orioles in his first start as a Cub (that immediately after he punched out 10 Colorado Rockies in his last start with the White Sox) — and the track record that should make him one of the most talked about pitchers on this team.
