I got to admit, the naysayers are getting to me. The same chicken littles who wanted the St. Louis Cardinals to sign Yoenis Cespedes and Chris Davis, now believe that the Cardinals’ rotation won’t be what it was last season.
Now, I did write last week that the slotting of Wacha as the #2 has me worried slightly, but Wacha will likely still be mildly successful and will have a very good bullpen behind him.
So, what is the benchmark for these pitchers?
Last season, the rotation had an ERA of 2.
